A Yale-Educated Feminist Calls Herself a ‘Morally Vacuous Harlot’

Posted on | October 22, 2015 | 368 Comments

Alana Massey (@AlanaMassey on Twitter) is a godless degenerate who once gave her thumbnail biography in an interview thus:

So I was a walking cliche of disastrous 20-something in New York: I treated mental illness with alcohol and drugs and bad sex with much older men. I had a series of bad assistant and PR jobs and would fall back on stripping and fetish work when I inevitably quit my jobs or couldn’t cover expenses. I enrolled in Yale Divinity when I was 25 in the hopes that if I just got a good helping of Jesus, I’d be cured of my debauchery and sadness. While I was there, I halfway cleaned up my act in terms of my health and my priorities and realized that I had been embarrassed by all of the wrong things. So when I returned to New York and my relationship ended, I decided not to ashamed of my creative ambitions or of the fact that I worked in the sex industry. I was told that the best thing about surviving being a chaotic f–k-up in your 20s is turning it into something worthwhile in your 30s, which is what I am trying to do personally and creatively now.

To summarize, Ms. Massey is a drug-addled, mentally ill ex-stripper who has had the privilege of being educated first at the prestigious private New York University (annual tuition $46,170) and subsequently at elite Yale University (annual tuition $47,600), so that we might estimate she has consumed somewhere in excess of $300,000 in order to become a freelance writer. Considering that there are no real entry barriers to the field of journalism (Hunter S. Thompson became a Latin American correspondent in 1962 with no educational credentials beyond a high-school diploma), we must view Ms. Massey’s stunning profligacy as a typical example of The Higher Education Bubble.

Furthermore, could anything be more absurd than Ms. Massey’s idea that she could get “a good helping of Jesus” at the fraudulently named Yale Divinity School? The place has been implacably hostile to Christianity for decades. The impiety and secularized gnosticism of that decadent institution did much to inspire William F. Buckley Jr.’s monumental work God and Man at Yale. If anyone is seeking “a good helping of Jesus,” probably the last place you’d find it is New Haven, Connecticut, being tutored by the academic High Priesthood of postmodern paganism.

The deities worshipped at Yale Divinity School are a pantheon of bloody idols, chief among which are Equality and Progress. Devotees of the Cult of Social Justice celebrate their perverse beliefs with rituals involving fornication, sodomy and abortion, occasionally organizing protests to demand that U.S. taxpayers fund their heathenish rites. No Christian would dare go near such an ivy-covered Temple of Satanic Wickedness, except perhaps to deliver a prophecy of its imminent doom, then fleeing in haste before Jehovah sends fire and brimstone showering down to incinerate the foul stench of that latter-day Gomorrah. But I digress . . .

Alana Massey recently produced an article for The Atlantic celebrating the scientific wonders of “the Mirena IUD, an intra-uterine device.” This implant has so successfully shut down the biological function of Ms. Massey’s reproductive organs that is has actually prevented her from having a menstrual period for more than three years.

Having been contraceptively spayed, as it were, for what purpose do you reckon Ms. Massey has done this? If you guessed “riding the carousel,” congratulations, you’re a winner:

“I don’t mind motorcycles but do mind when people ride them without helmets,” I lied to a man named “Carl” on the dating app Bumble when he brought up his Yamaha. I actually believe that the only commendable function of motorcycles is to make aging dads feel the crisp bite of youth again during their midlife crises rather than resorting to age-inappropriate affairs, but I was trying to be pleasant.
“Wanna go for a ride?” he asked soon after, apparently not registering that not minding a thing is hardly the equivalent of being interested in it. I answered, “never in my life,” still willing to give him a shot but making clear that his motorcycle would not be a selling point.
“I’m not talking about riding my motorcycle,” he replied.
In no mood to hold Carl’s hand through how game actually works, I said, “Okay you have a good night,” hoping he’d realize defeat. “Haha! I’m joking! Someone is slightly uptight I see.”
Oh, Carl. I would have been tempted to defend myself by letting him know I am actually a morally vacuous harlot devoid of sexual mores, but I was busy talking to another man also using the app. We hadn’t met yet, but his sufficient flirting skills prompted me to take a flurry of explicit photos and send the keepers his way. We would later have sex on our first and only date.
I am icy, certainly, but I am not uptight.
Beyond establishing my reputation as a woman who enjoys sex and a bit of text-based flirting, this episode highlights the troubling ease with which men dismiss women as prudish if they are not immediately open and enthusiastic about sex. It is cruel tool in a culture that was infiltrated by a certain brand of blasé sex positivity long before achieving true gender equality and, by extension, before we’ve decentralized men’s orgasms as the ultimate purpose of sex between a man and a woman.
We pathologize women’s entirely rational reactions of “nah” and “meh” to sex as the result of antiquated values. Often, these reactions are because sex might be perilous to a woman’s well-being — and often, if we’re honest, a physically substandard experience. . . .
Too often, sex positivity feels rooted in a feminism that secretly wants boys to like it. It wants to be cool.
Media outlets feed us a relentless stream of articles . . . [in which] inequality is exemplified by the wage gap, the number of women in Congress, and whether women are courting poverty and death by having babies before they’re rich. What is decidedly absent from the debate is a woman’s sexual fulfillment. . . .
But the absence of sexual satisfaction from these discussions is also due to the belief that, for the most part, sexual inequality was resolved by the sexual revolution, women’s lib and the widespread adoption of birth control.
The legacy of these movements is a mountain of unfinished business which gave birth to a half-formed sex positivity lovechild now wrecking havoc on anyone who isn’t down to f–k. . . .

You can read the rest of that, or gouge your eyes out with a rusty screwdriver. Either option will do you as much good.

Let me reiterate what I have previously said (“Hit-It-and-Quit-It on Tinder”) that no sane person would ever hook up via online apps, whether it’s Tinder, OKCupid or whatever. This is not “dating,” this is digital degradation, a 21st-century rewrite of Looking for Mr. Goodbar, which is a story that does not end “happily ever after.”

If someone is so recklessly desperate as to peddle themselves to any stranger with a smartphone or a wifi connection, we must be suspicious why they cannot find romantic companionship among people who actually know them in real life. Any attractive single man or woman of good character — kind, courteous, honest — will find no shortage of opportunities to meet potential partners.

What kind of guy seeks prospects on Tinder, and for what purpose? He either (a) has failed in prior attempts to establish any durable romantic relationship, or (b) has no interest in anything more meaningful than a sweaty “pump-and-dump.” Or possibly (c) he’s a sadistic psychopath in search of a victim for his next heinous atrocity. If we may presume that there are no decent men to be had via these apps, what conclusions may we draw about the women who peddle themselves this way? Alana Massey describes herself as “a morally vacuous harlot” who pursues one-night stands and complains of the “physically substandard experience” that does nothing for “a woman’s sexual fulfillment.”

Let us ask: Can feminism solve a problem that feminism itself created?

Is this Yale-educated woman too stupid to see that her compulsive promiscuity — a lifelong habit now abetted by advanced technologies of contraception and dating apps — is the basic cause of her problems? How does her whorish “sex-positive” feminism contribute anything to “true gender equality”? Yet what exactly does she imagine “true gender equality” would look like, if ever we were to achieve it?

Of course, such a question would presume that (a) “sexual inequality” is the explanation for whatever makes women unhappy, (b) “true gender equality” is possible and (c) there is anyone who would actually rather live in that imaginary egalitarian utopia than to live in any other social order which has hitherto existed. Each of those premises is subject to dispute, but the “morally vacuous harlot” just takes it for granted that Progress must inevitably lead to Equality and that, having arrived at her hoped-for destination, she will find there a system that universally provides for “a woman’s sexual fulfillment.” Every hookup in Feminist Heaven will produce ecstatic spasms of pleasure, you see, and the streets will be paved with gold. Or maybe cat litter.

Excuse my extreme skepticism about feminist utopian fantasies. The Gods of the Copybook Headings could not be reached for comment.

As it will be in the future,
it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain
since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit
and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger
goes wabbling back to the Fire . . .

Speaking of dogs and vomit, Miriam Mogilevsky — the feminist who calls herself “queer, gay, femme, and homoflexible . . . on the asexual spectrum somewhere” — rejects any criticism of her labels:

“Well I personally don’t see why anyone needs to label themselves with all these complicated new words,” says someone who is able to find people who fit their sexual and romantic preferences just by walking into literally any bar in any town.

Translation: “Heterosexuals have it so easy! Don’t they know how hard life is for us queer gay femme homoflexible asexual women?”

Unfortunately, too many heterosexual women have bought into the bogus idea of feminist “empowerment” and turned themselves into morally vacuous harlots like Alana Massey. Some guy “walking into literally any bar in any town” will probably encounter a lot of damaged women like her, and no one would envy him the prospect of a loveless hook-up with a twisted bundle of Yale-educated cat-lady craziness.

    I see no misogynist language, and am in a position to recognize it. Nor is there any hatred. Once again, taking exception to someone’s stupidity is not hatred. In fact, it’s more like pity.

    As for shame, I’ve been on Earth a lot longer than you, son, and am wiser and have seen and experienced more. Shame is the very thing that prevents a person from doing a stupid thing again and again and again. It is perfectly appropriate to shame someone for committing shameful acts. The problem with leftists is that they have no moral compass and no critical thinking skills. They project (they hate, which is why they falsly accuse others of hatred; they are intolerant, and thus falsely accuse others of intolerance) and they act upon emotion alone, bereft of actual facts. And when presented with facts and reasonable, logical argument, they suffer cognitive dissonance like the cultists they are, and go, what we adults call, “batshit crazy.”

    I would like to see you yourself present a calm, logical argument without using loaded, redefined words. I’d like to see you form an entire paragraph without the words “hatred” or “misogyny”. Because when you use those words, you are repeating the argumentation of mentally ill feminists, like a sock puppet. IOW, think for yourself, and not like an SJW echo chamber. Trigger warning: This may require actual thought on your part.

    It’s so silly and sad of leftists to get offended on behalf of someone because someone else is calling them by the same name that they call themselves.

    Yes, Alana’s “subjective” experience is beyond criticism because it’s her subjective experience…,That is a load of meaningless drivel. And we’re attacking her, including the women too, mind you, because we’re insecure in our own masculinity..,lol! I’m having a hard time grasping how a college professor can reach such mindless conclusions? Whose cock did you suck to get that job? Alana’s behavior is most dangerous to Alana, then to other women who see this as “liberating”, and finally to men who are demonized by women like Alana, or God forbid sleep with her. Yes, Alana can string sentences together but the substance of the actual content is cringe worthy, vapid, dull, and at this point, trite.

    My point was that the blog and the comments are personal attacks, particularly ones focusing on her image and her looks. Part of sexism is doing exactly this: isolating a woman’s physical qualities in order to dismiss and denigrate her. It’s one key strand in the sexism web. But there are other points to be highlighted. Everyone on here, including you, are claiming that her lifestyle–sex work and casual dating–has somehow ruined her. As if! This is a solipcistic fantasy! Alana was never ruined nor is she now. In fact, she is quite accomplished. More to the point, metal illness is not the result of moral choices. Many people have metal illness problems–such as depression–that have nothing to do with addiction. Of course, addiction can feed into these problems, but you’re speaking as if she’s some deranged drug addict, when in reality she’s perfectly fine. Yes. She is fine. It is only in your mind that she is a lost, damaged soul. People go through life and spiritual crises all the time, even married people who are drug and alcohol free. One last point. In no place does alana hate men. She merely rejects men who use tacky pick up lines on her, particularly older men who condescend her when she isn’t inherently impressed by them. This basically comes down to owning her own sexuality, not hatred of men.

    Many moons ago when I was in junior high, one of the best teachers I had was also one of the most disliked teachers by the students. He was a history teacher that also taught a section of English, so he expected literate English in our history essays, which isn’t something that’s appreciated especially by kids that age. At the same time, I saw him take time to help out a girl in the class who was pregnant (which was not unheard of but far from common, there, then) without ever saying anything but encouraging words.

    One, the criticisms of Alana go beyond her looks, and image. Her looks are a result of her self destructive, and degrading lifestyle which she attempts to glamorize. In terms of writing content, this is unbelievably cliche in 2015. Every wonder bread, upper middle class, well educated white girl writer has wandered down this same old literary road to appear edgy. She’s a poseur. This is obvious. Sex work, and casual sex does ruin you, or should I say a ruined person indulges in said behavior because they are ruined. Solipsistic defines you, and Alana. The people here defend aN objective moral standard because it’s success is proven over and over. That’s not solipsism. Alana is a feminist, therefore Alana hates men. That’s it. No argument needed. Anyone who pays attention to the feminist agenda, and what feminists say, and do, can conclude otherwise. No one here is fooled by feminist propaganda. Feminists must be defeated. They are literally the most dangerous wing of the left. I feel less afraid of politicians talking about tax increases, and welfare. No, feminists are the front line of the culture war, and feminists must be beat.

    2: Who gives a twisting gyrating fuck what Alana finds “impressive”? Alana is a whore. Alana is not impressive. Alana is not a girl you get serious about. Alana is a girl whom you drop a load in, and then block her calls. Alana might have a good niche in porn. Alana should submit an application to fuck porn star James Deen. She is his type. It will be more interesting than Alana’s cliched, bad writing, and the audience will get more out of it. Alana is bad news.

    Yes, you get it now. They are personal attacks, not the group defamation of all women. This is a broad who doesn’t even understand what due process is; see: her support for the daffy “rape culture” piece at The New Republic. That article, like all of its type, portrays men falsely accused of rape as having hurt fee-fees and then falsely claims in a typical feminist black hole circular argument that is more important than “the act itself,” a thing no one claims. If you want to admire someone, go find Miesha Tate’s Twitter feed. At least she could armbar a rapist.

    I can feel bad for her and point out that the refusal to train the animals you live with can affect those who visit your home (your animal may scratch and bite or just not be very sociable).
    Of course, the fact that one’s animal is not sociable is often an indicator that the woman is neither sociable nor trustworthy.
    I pointed this factoid out because it is an indicator of mental instability.
    sometimes it is helpful to know that people are not stable before they do crazy things to others.
    Having been raised by lesbians I know that not only can she change and improve, she would have to WANT to change for that to occur.

    If she’s attempting to be ironic, she failed miserably, inasmuch as declaring a C.V. including sex work and stripping and reporting about sending naked selfies to someone you’ve never met is rather consistent with the established definition of “harlot.” What would be ironic would be calling herself a “harlot,” even though she was happily married and espoused and practiced marital fidelity.

    If you truly teach literature at the college level, I pity your students.

    “Memoir” is one thing. It’s acceptable if one has accomplished something worthy of reportage. What she writes is a more salacious version of those tedious Facebook posts of “I ordered a hotdog but couldn’t decide if I really wanted sauerkraut or not.”

  23. Austin Bailey
    October 24th, 2015 @ 9:26 am

    The established definition of a harlot? Haha. That’s not a word people in mainstream society use anymore. It meets an established definition if you took a horse drawn carriage to work yesterday. But the issue is that you think a word like ‘harlot’ is not only objective and ahistorical (simply descriptive of locatable realities and not part of socially constructed and historically mediated processes) but that she IS literally a harlot. There are no such things as harlots. That’s a hate word. It’s like saying a black person is the n-word. Would you call a black person the n-word?

  24. RS
    October 24th, 2015 @ 10:17 am

    She used it herself. Presumably she knows the definition, as do you and everyone else. That’s why she used it, thereby refuting your absurd assertions. If, in fact, the word has no meaning; if, in fact, it expresses no reality, then why bother? Was she trying to communicate something to the reader? If so, what?

    It seems rather clear that she is celebrating sexual promiscuity, which, she notes provided her an income as a “sex worker.”

    For you to declare that a descriptive term is now a “hate word”–an absurd declaration to begin with inasmuch as language expresses reality and hate is an emotion unique to its holder–simply demonstrates that you cannot abide disagreement with Ms. Massey’s advocacy and celebration of her lifestyle and seek to end debate by engaging in semantic Bolshevism.

    3 years? I find it hard to believe that’s even healthy. I had 2 month cycles when I was in college because I have PCOS (polycystic ovaries) which basically means that my eggs didn’t always successfully release from the ovaries. My doctor put me on Provera for a time to ensure I had a more regular period because the risk of uterine cancer is greater if you don’t regularly shed the lining.

    Because they and her are all the same: they promote sexual promiscuity as the “right way” to live one’s life, which couldn’t be further from the truth.
