"
I didn't notice that Saavik was referred to as "he" in the scene with
David and Kirk, but I did notice that throughout the entire movie,
she was referred to as "Mister Saavik", rather than Miss, Ms., or 
what have you.  

Any explanations from a true Trekkie?  Has "Mister" changed its 
meaning?  Will Gloria Steinem have a heart attack because of it?

The term "MISTER" refers to the position title as in Mr Checkov, Mr Sulu,
etc.  Not Lieutenant or other designation. It is an old naval tradition, dating back
many years. You referred to a crewman by this title if the crewman had no full
designation above Ensign.
