Women in Normal Misc

[Cass40]

Because it's not real-tea

Apart from some neck beards who take it such

In fact it's rather formulaic apart from a few interesting and amusing posters. And there's quite a few decent people in there. You'd just never go there for help or when feeling vulnerable

I do it mainly cos I enjoy it, like giving a female perspective and generally have a healthy sense of self. sometimes cos I worry there's a proportion who take it as real and sometimes there's real cries for help in there. There needs to be oppposing voices to the misc troll vibe sometimes, but other times the joke can just play out.

I suppose sometimes I do it cos I work with vulnerable, mainly male, teens and here I can say more what I think without having to fill out paperwork in triplicate afterwards.

Yes. I worry about some of them too. I don't worry about myself there but I do worry about some of them. However, I usually let them be and just participate with certain people in goofy threads. I mean, it's their locker room, they don't need their mom there yelling at them

Everybody needs their mom

I like reading and posting on the misc. sometimes. I don't really care to have conversations with twenty year olds, but I do find it intriguing social studies perspective kinda way. I think it's interesting how everything is different now with social media, unlimited access to porn..and all those things seem to cause problems to young people nowadays when it comes to intimacy.

Of course the miscers. are a bit exaggerated version of young guys, but I do understand a lot where they're coming from. Well, I try at least. I don't think I can say, as a forty year old woman, how they should be or feel.

And of course they can be quite funny occasionally. I have laughed so much there but I do have to ignore 99% of what they post. Sometimes I get bored and intentionally go there rustle jimmies and they get mad and put paper bag on my head or whatnot. They have mad photoshop skills too, a thing that's good to remember if you post pictures of yourself

I absolutely agree about the point you made about how everything is different now in regards to social media, unlimited ports, etc. I have a 16 year old and I really fear for what he is going to have to go through dating wise. It was so much simpler when I was in high school/young adult.

As for the mom part in another one of your posts, sometimes I just can't control the mom in me from coming out. lol

i originally was here to research my novel...my protagonist is a misogynistic psychopath and i wanted to learn how one would think

Ive done this and then some. Now im stuck here and willnever finish my novel because im addicted to miscing. yeh the board has gone pants mate i know ....why am i wasting my life anandagirl?

Heheheh Naw, you're just getting extra research in But if you keep getting banned, you'll never finish LOL

[firedwithiron]

Normal misc is the most active section, and a lot of topics have lolz qualities. I read it for the entertainment qualities, but I have only commented in the relationships section because that's really the only input I've had to add for the most part.

I stay out of the red pill threads and such because they are cringey at best and "sloot" bashing at worst.

Since I'm surrounded by men constantly while at work and then the gym after (predominantly male industry and almost all-male gym), I have just learned to filter out the worst of the locker room talk at this point. It rarely rustles me anymore.

[ironwill2008]

There's nothing "normal" about the misc forum on this site.

[ichBinBerliner]

There's nothing "normal" about the misc forum on this site.

^^^
Too much truth. The misc is filled with exceptionally maladjusted men that are extremely insecure. They make up for their insecurity by putting down 99% of the people on forums when IRL they are mouses/betas. Ive ran into a few miscers IRL at my gym. They actually lift, unlike 99% of miscers. the misc is entertainment. nothing more, nothing less.

[menna91]

I went to that part of the forum out of curiosity... read some funny posts but most of them left me disgusted as in "do these men actually exist". I guess what was the most disturbing was reading about male users bashing and talking s.hit about their girlfriends, friends, wives. I know there are many trolls out there, but it seemed like there are even more shallow people.

[acrawlingchaos]

It's where I live now since can't stand 035Misc anymore.

WHAT!!!!???? Why you no love 035.



And what the hell happened to this place. It's been a few years since I posted here. Seems awfully quiet.

[JaymzJ]

Spot on, that’s why it is fantastic but also horrifyingly bad.

[rubyharo]

Fuk off we're full

[JaymzJ]

Fuk off we're full

0 to 100 real quick, lel.

[acrawlingchaos]

Fuk off we're full

Well... OK then.

0 to 100 real quick, lel.

You have to admire that enthusiasm!!!

[SomaliGirl]

As sexist and racist as the misc can be I'm not gonna lie, it's hilarious.


When I first started posting I had no idea what I was getting myself into, didn't understand the references, the lingo, or anything. I was always that "b-but n-n-not all women are like that!!" person. But ya learn to laugh it off.


Also it's probably the closest insight into "locker room talk" that'll I'll ever see so it's pretty interesting haha

[fluidZ]

Dangler here, and somewhat of a necro bump I guess,

but I came here hoping to get a female insight since I've recently started visiting the regular Misc...

It's honestly the most ridiculous place.... after the initial first few days of horror and disgust, start to realize it's just absurd.

Being both in military with infantry, sports teams, etc, never seen, heard, or dealt with anything anywhere close to Misc.


Thanks all for posting here... too bad it's a wasteland... but I guess I shouldn't have expected to find a female version of Misc...

I guess the Misc is one of a kind and can't be replicated Hahahaha

[swhit42]

You know, I am totally new to this website. So I didn't know normal misc = men's bathroom, access not allowed to women...

So I responded to several post in regular misc, and now felt totally embarrassed, like I have stepped into men's bathroom...

I learned my lesson, and will never write anything to regular misc any more

.

Haha, I did that too, didn’t even know there was a female misc. it’s not like the other one says “male misc”

[onepunchgirl]

Ok, you gals that actually post in the regular Misc. section - how the fek do you make it through? On boring work days like this I look to see what's being posted and I cannot get through half those posts. I feel like I lose brain cells every time. Some posts are LOL worthy but just as many are like

Honestly I just made an account so I could comment here BUT jesus christ I read a thread that sounded like something straight from r/incels

[5more]

The misc taught me what a manlet was😂 everyday I see a manlet and I think misc.🤦‍♀️ Lol

[FiniteAutomaton]

I read it a lot bc it's stupid entertaining. But yes on the feeling like is this how men (including my bf) behave when they think women aren't around?

I post a decent amount there too. Mostly just to inject some female perspective into those "omg all women are sloots" threads. When I first saw some of those I would legitimately get upset and ask my bf if this is how men really are. Now I know the vast majority of them would not dare say half that bs to their wife/gf. Literally just locker room talk.

I think it depends immensely on the type of guy.

I talk the same way to women as I do guys, but I also never hung around the kind of guys who post in misc. I am also a bit of a nerd so maybe that is why hah

When I worked at the public works, it was pretty much as you describe though. They make their comments in "private" about how attractive a woman is or her body parts, but once around them, they square up :P

One summer the police actually got on the shared radio to tell us this one particular lady was working at the car dealership, and you could see her cleavage. Naturally, everyone in the borough drove by to say hi to her lol

[JinxViper]

hahaha I agree! Most of the time I just laugh. Some of the stuff that is posted is so blatantly sexist and straight up bizarre though! I have a strong desire to comment in order to break up the conversation, raise awareness about double standards and stuff, or to just offer advice in a way that is just not sexist. Perhaps I will try and engage.

I saw this one guy commenting about how he thinks women who have sex after he's only taken them out one or two times, or have one night stands with are absolute trash and I'm thinking...dude. You had sex with HER on the first or second date and you had a one night stand with HER talk about double standards.

[JinxViper]

I'm in the military, currently serving in an infantry unit, so while I appreciate knowing how guys talking when they're "among themselves", it's also supremely frustrating because it makes me question whether my superiors, peers, or subordinates think this way about me and just don't say it to my face.

It seems like every thread is some dude whining because ladies aren't throwing sex at them, or some dude bitching because all women are "sloots" or whatever is the preferred jargon du misc, etc etc. Any posts by women have one or more guys being like, "oh you're a girl in the misc? Of COURSE your thread is glowing green," or calling the OP an attention whore.

I spent a lot of time on forums like this one, ars technica, etc, years back...and I chalked that shiz up to "boys will be boys" when I was younger, but I find that I lack patience for it now. I don't post in misc threads because I don't want to get riled up and go stomping in there to school people on vaginas, the Constitution, or women in the service, get into a comments section throw-down, and then get negged into oblivion. I do venture in there to read on boring work days, but I generally have to click out after max 15 minutes in deference to my blood pressure.

I plan on going to OCS after college if possible and joining the Marines. Part of it is deliberately cause the branch has so little female leadership.

I had a fwb who's a Marine, we're still on good terms, when I first told him I was thinking of joining he warned me not to have casual sex with anyone around me (wasn't planning to but I see why he bought it up because I had casual sex with him so) cause in the Corps you'll get labeled as a wook ****ing her way into promotions or people think the women get promoted cause a higher up just wants to **** her, or that stuff. I said it was a double standard but I wasn't gonna do it anyway, we didn't talk about it again, but I'll see comments on the Marines instagram on the 100 year anniversary of women in the Corps about how guys think female Marines are sex relief stress toys and no one would ever respect a wook.

It makes me hate it but it also makes me want to prove em wrong cause I see there's also dudes that get defensive cause they know a cool woman in their unit or something and know it's not really like that and have more respect and I think it's cool to be a positive representation of a minority

[JinxViper]

I just have to laugh at all the man-tears in there. Yesterday there was a whole post about why good looking guys get with "fat, butch women", and a bunch of speculation about why guys don't feel like they deserve 9/10s. I wanted to go in there and ask the posters why it mattered. Why do they care so much about the sex other people are having, and with whom?

My other favorite line of conversation in the misc is the guys who complain that they can't get girls or that girls are all "slooty" and "materialistic" and they all want "Chads" -- but then they have threads where they talk about how Rosamund Pike is, at best, a 6/10 would-not-smash. "My standards are high, I will only sleep with 8-9/10s" in the same breath as "women today are such materialistic whores who only care about looks." I'm like, hmm.

Sometimes I'm VERY tempted to go in there and be like, yall need to quit bitching because literally nothing on the planet is less attractive than a guy whining that he can't get laid. But most of the posts are trolling, anyway, so it'd be a waste of time.

Tbh I doubt they're that bad in real life. Guys behind keyboards AND in groups of other guys AND on a site about bodybuilding n muscles and stuff....recipe for them being the literal worst versions of themselves. Saw a bunch of dudes posting pics of a girl saying they'd be down to go to jail for raping her, yikes. That was a while ago and haven't seen anything as bad since but it came out so casually and easily.

[jenpwriter]

Just checked out that section because of this thread. It's a very...surreal insight into the male mind.

I knew BB.com misc was absolute whack even before I joined this site, I used to stalk it when I was in like middle/high school and my god. It hasn't changed over the years either hahaha

[JinxViper]

This thread restored some of my faith in humanity...that we can all recognize the cesspool that is BB.com misc for what it is. It is interesting because it's sort of like men's locker room talk at it's worst, "sloot" bashing, sexism and double standards everywhere, autistic politics, getting negged for saying something normal, guys who are clearly insecure and take it out on women. But it's also nice to know that it's just the worst and there are many better men out there.

[DCSpartan]

For a total thread hijack, Ive been in almost 30 years and thats good advice for any junior officer, male or female. Best of luck getting into OCS!

[sg1976]

We can help you ladies make the Female Misc more interesting? Just let us know.

[bretmarathon]

Why would you call it "Normal" Misc? I would call it "Abnormal Misc"!! A better term would be main Misc or regular Misc, lol.

Not female, but I remember one thread where the guy was pissed that a 40 year old overweight secretary at his work got divorced and started online dating, and she would giggle with the female coworkers about how she had men offer to take her out on their boats and fancy dinners.

He was moaning that it's unfair as he's a fit bodybuilder who gets no female attention, and she's an overweight female with tons of male attention.

Then they guys ask why he's posting about what old people do, and that old guys are the biggest white knights.

Then there was that other direalboss guy who was complaining about how women are sloots, but he's the one who posted about how he picked up on "thinks" on Grindr.

It's more for entertainment value, much more so than a TV show.

Just the responses make me lol.

[Jorobee]

You know, I am totally new to this website. So I didn't know normal misc = men's bathroom, access not allowed to women...

So I responded to several post in regular misc, and now felt totally embarrassed, like I have stepped into men's bathroom...

I learned my lesson, and will never write anything to regular misc any more

This is an amazing point. I really don't think the general misc should be like a locker room to a point that we don't feel safe to post there unless we are posting in the female misc section.

I have been bodybuilding for years, ever since the beginning of college. I relied heavily on the regular misc in my college years for personal advice and just forming my basic view points of the world because I found bodybuilders more relatable in terms of values. Since on regular forums, I often think we have really different lifestyles to a point that their advices might not often apply to me.

But some of the stuff from the general Misc is straight up toxic. And now looking back I am aware of how much shame I felt going on there because people would just assume I would "attention-slooting" even though bodybuilding is for everyone. I shouldn't feel uncomfortable getting the support I need from people and connecting with people who enjoy the same thing and share the same set of values.

I really don't like the general consenses that women just lift or go to the gym or whatever just to get male attention, and how people regard that as a really negative thing. Everyone wants to be attractive and the guys in the general misc def always talks about how many list to get laid and look attractive. Don't we all want to be hot at any age? Why would I feel ashamed if I want to be more attractive?
