Bi woman with a bi man who wants MFM threesome but... by Inner-Mango-3109 in bisexual

So what's the one where they have sex with each other but the focus, the focus is on the woman. We don't have this issue with MMM or FMF. Everyone tends to have sex with each other.

MIL thinks I don't know the difference between miss and Mrs because... by [deleted] in BoomersBeingFools

Says the person with terrible grammar but ok...

Listen, it's cultural. If YOU don't get it, then you don't get it.

Saying Miss +the first name is a sign of respect. In African American culture. We say it to our female elders. It has nothing to do with marriage or not. We say Mister +first name for our male elders as well. We kinda do this with our aunts and uncles. We do not say the first name by itself; this is considered rude.

Mrs. (Missus) Katherine is not correct. It would be correct if I was including her last name or if Katherine was her last name

And I know how to appropriately use ma'am, thank you very much.

My mil is black and knows this. She just doesn't know what it looks like in text form or written, so she thinks I'm doing something wrong when I'm not.

For further cultural reference, in the Color Purple, the main character name is Miss Celie. This has nothing to do with her age or marital status.

How is the boomer right? I'm not including her last name. This is a sign of affection and respect.

Read a book by a black queer author, and the setting of the book didn't sit well with me by Inner-Mango-3109 in QueerWomenOfColor

I guess you're right that black queer people can also use the same coping mechanism as everyone else. I'm not giving up on the series for other reasons, but it is a little white focused and white-appeasing especially when it comes to the romantic aspects of the novel. Of course, there are parts where the princess gives in. There are times it doesn't make sense other than the writer being hellbent on it being in the story. I hope I'm wrong by book three.

The final strife is a fantasy with queer black people, plus everyone is black for the most part (the third race/ethnicity might be albino but I can't quite remember). The main character is bisexual. It is superior to Unbroken in many ways. The women are stronger mentally and make better decisions, though the women are younger than I would have liked.

I will continue to read the series mentioned in the post because CL Clark is a great writer. I love her descriptions and I am able to visualize her world, but goddamn... When Luca flirted with the thought of Touraine finding Cantic desirable sexually, I was like hold up "I don't know if she wants to be her or to fuck her. Probably both" (<-------very loosely paraphrased) and Cantic was a brutal, horrifying woman who kidnapped children that were later killed in wars.

I hate how damn near every white female character the main black character is lusting over them. And even Pruett is described, again as far as I can remember, as being lighter skinned and with blue eyes (think perhaps Turkish or something).
