Is gender of MC important?

Then maybe you can explore what it feels like to be a man when people aren’t treating him the same way men expect to be treated in our society.

I love that quote.

@TSSL

Seeing a type of character which is not traditionally depicted as vulnerable in this way is more eye-opening.

And this.

Because it’s all putting a new light on the game, and your position to me.

Actually the whole post is too great for just the like button.

I don’t think it is exclusive a female thing, but I do think it was written by the perspective to what a straight woman would do of she found her husband with a younger and attractive young woman.

I think if you’re a gay man, who’s unable to give your bisexual husband the child he so desperately wants, and you find him in bed with an attractive young woman, there’s a lot at play there too. Admittedly the whole magic children thing does make things play out slightly differently than it would in this world.

AND due to that issues. With what TSSL says, it is suddenly so very interesting, that it might be the man whose role is threatened. That he’s the one who’s unable to give his wife the child she desperately wants. Usually it’s the woman who’s blamed. I like this flip, especially since it’s the sperm that’s responsible for male/female.

And yes that woman in the Queen’s bed is a threat to you. She can have a child with the Queen, one the Queen doesn’t even need to carry herself, (which maybe she finds preferable). Is the Queen really going to let you join in, and risk impregnating her? Even assuming her lover is bi and would want you there. Your position is in jeopardy.
