Craning her neck to look at the clock on the bedside table behind Nicholas, she blinked a few times when she read that it was 7:45.
“Shit!” she cried out, accidentally elbowing Nicholas in the ribs.
He woke up immediately while Victor, who slept like the dead, rested on. “Geez, Nina,” Nicholas said, stretching. “That’s a hell of a way to wake

Nina, as you developed her, was blamed in a previous cookie of yours by several fans for not taking birth control regularly. I can personally tell those readers that it is very easy to forget the pill, especially with an erratic schedule which would come from such careers that require travel. Perhaps being in the military? Why, if a male refuses to use a condom in some similar situations in fanfic, do the fans take that in better stride than a woman forgetting a pill? At least the female had the intention of responsibility.
I would like to try an experiment with two three-some relationships. I’d like to write one about a male and a female originally together, then a male joining. Then, I’d like to write one about a male and male together, where the female joins later.
If a male had “intruded” on a straight couple’s relationship and asked to be a part of it, I do believe fangirls would handle that better than a strong female acting exactly the same.
It seems that earth today is in the same acceptance state (or less) as a world in the 1930ish. Pathetic.

But I would be curious what would happen if someone intruded on Aideen and Fletcher, not that either of them swing the other way at all, but still...
Anywho, thanks for the support on this.

I don't think anybody really wishes any harm to come to Nina in spite of it all. I personally couldn't care less what becomes of her as she just isn't that important to me. She is definitely a very rare strong female character and has more personality in her pinkie than Victor ever will. In fact, if Victor left and never came back, I don't think I'd be all that upset about it. The fact remains however that Nina did in fact intrude on the guy's relationship and was allowed to stay simply because (IMHO anyway) Nicholas, a well known manwhore, wanted to freshen up his love life. Again, see "Propositions". Nicholas agreed to Nina's proposal with very little consideration while Victor just stood there like a bump on a log.
As far as Nina forgetting her pill, I think that subconsciously Nina wants to have a baby so that makes it a bit easier to forget. One tends to not do something one doesn't really want to do to begin with. She already implied that she'd do whatever it took to get what she wants. The rigors of military life do make it all the more difficult to keep to a regular schedule tho. The reason fans accept a forgetful man more so than a forgetful woman is simply because we just don't expect better of men. Men, not all of course, are dogs and we let them get away with it. How sad is that?

You'll also notice, that Victor was at first cautious, but then wouldn't choose to be without her.
Yes fans do accept irresponsible male figures, but not female, and that was my basic point.
I apologize for personally going after you. I was very angry at the time for another situation all together, and I was trying to make a point about male vs female acceptances. I have been seeing a lot of sexism and being attacked with it, both personally, professionally, and on the internet at various sites when I have not felt I deserved it.
This time I did. I apologize again.

To be honest with you, I was rather put out with Nicholas for agreeing to Nina's proposal so readily. At the very least he and Victor should have told Nina that they'd think about it, asked her to leave, discussed it thoroughly amongst themselves no matter how long it took, and then invited her back to their house to give her their decision. It wouldn't have killed either one of them to stop and think for a minute instead of blindly jumping into it. *smiles* Nicholas is that much like his dad, charging head long into any given situation without fully considering all his options! :D
I do think tho that since Victor is such a bland character that there wouldn't have been much discussing going on. He seems to defer most of the decision making to Nicholas. Victor reminds me of a puppy. Dogs and puppies love to please and will guard those that they love with everything in them. Victor will go along with just about anything Nicholas says and is loyal to a fault. What a faithful little canine is he! LOL!
*grins* Hey, wouldn't it have been ironic if Nicholas and Victor had discovered after they'd invited Nina into the relationship that neither one of them could stand her? that maybe there was a major personality clash or that maybe she had some quirky habit that drove them both insane? :D OMG, what if she barked like a big dog during sex! XD What in the world do you do then?! LOL!
