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

Posted on 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.

  2. This woman is indeed a Godless reprobate. She was obviously raised badly. One would be hard pressed to find God, in the Godless Yale divinity school.

  5. Having been a life-long fan of science fiction lit, I early on got into the habit of looking at society and my own life with a sort of double-vision due to the dystopian warning stories I read. There were smart people writing smart shit that amounted to canary-in-a-coal-mine stuff 70 and even 100 years ago. With half my mind on that, there are two things I have never allowed myself, preferring to see them as an immediate sign to head for the front door and seek out the real thing: video games and pornography. I”m no Luddite; I write XHMTL and can manage the hell out of digital images, and I enjoy lazy afternoons with a movie as much as anyone. But there must be balance. This woman scream alarm bells all over the place. She is lost, and your article in general shows one giant can of crazy and bad decisions. I sometimes wonder how much mental illness is real and how much self-imposed. Certainly SF writers have long felt that too much urban and tech life is a slightly dangerous thing for even normal human beings and a rat’s nest that must increasingly be navigated with great care. That is not a thing the old school on a farm had to deal with. They had reality, the cycles of wind and rain, the sun on their face, laughing children and families.

  7. Being an optimist the fact that she realized she needed christ is hopeful the fact she didn’t know Yale was the place to look is simple ignorance.

    If she heard whisper once she may hear it again if she lives long enough.

    I’d say she’s worth a prayer or two

    At least she’s better than Catholic Call to action that has catholic in their name but isn’t willing to say Christ is the son of God, died and rose again, but that’s a pretty low hurdle

  8. :This woman scream alarm bells all over the place. She is lost, and your article in general shows one giant can of crazy and bad decisions.”

    A few things to keep in mind:

    1. Damaged women like this are not a new phenomenon; however . . .
    2. The “pro-sex” Third Wave feminism that emerged in the 1990s produced a bumper crop of women seeking “empowerment” through promiscuity; and
    3. Online publishing has made the Lurid Confessional a cheap source of click-bait, while also providing social-media environments where these tales can be shared widely among like-minded women.

    We could also note how Sex in the City helped popularize a certain sort of young-single-girl-in-New-York narrative, which for so many girls became an aspirational ideal. Now, after about 15 or 20 years of that, we have lots of burned-out and embittered women blaming men for the fact that their Feminist Fairy Tale life didn’t work out the way they planned. Where do think, for example, we got this rather sudden and frantic “rape culture” hysteria? Research the biography of Jaclyn Friedman (a leader of the “affirmative consent” crusade) and you see she is a 40-year-old who was a college senior at just about the time the Lewinsky scandal made the definition of “sex” a subject of intense public debate. It’s always this way: Feminists demand Progressive Reform X, and then the consequences include Bad Result Y, but they never go back and reconsider their previous demand, instead blaming patriarchy for the problem and calling for Progressive Reform Z.

    Feminists insist that the answer to every problem is always more feminism.

  9. Her story about the dating app, “Carl,” etc. is quite illuminating. It’s indicative of the habit of younger “journalists” to take some extraordinarily pedestrian personal encounter and elevate it to “Major Social Trend” status in order to bore the crap out of the rest of us.

  12. For a writer, she isn’t very clear. Is that:

    I treated mental illness with alcohol and drugs, and treated bad sex with much older men.

    or

    I treated mental illness with alcohol, drugs and bad sex (with much older men).

    Now I’m leaning toward the latter, but at first I thought she meant that she would go after much older men to get over bad sex with young men.

  13. One of the extremely few poems i know by heart (the other being the Geebung polo club)

    “..On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
    (Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
    Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
    And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “The Wages of Sin is Death.”..”

    Shes not going to age well.
    Theres an old book (which they made into a movie) about AIDS “and the band played on”. (strongly recommend a read)
    Early on before the outbreak started an epidemiologist was describing a conversation she had about “whats the worst scenario you could envisage for a new disease”.
    She came up with long gestation, infectious for some time before symptoms appeared, sexually transmitted, and fatal.

    Due to the quite outrageously promiscuous sexual behaviour of gays at that time they were the perfect storm waiting to happen.

    Now we appear to have “gay-like” levels of promiscuity and anonymous sex in a wider hetro group, it does make me wonder if we will see a new ‘aids” hit before too long.

    I can already see a large epidemic of mentally broken women and hideously embittered men (the ones being swiped into the rejects pile while the alphas swim in poon).

    I suppose the question in the end is ‘who benefits”?
    Who is actually better off with this new culture?

  17. That’s why I continually refer to the whole affair as a suicide cult. Third Wave Feminism detests all the things that allow this cult of fringe lunatics to exist. That means their “solutions” are an ever increasing spiral of self-destruction. Let’s be honest: the success of Martin Luther King and Gandhi was a tribute – not to them – but to the systems that revealed an internal morality. In other words, in Nazi Germany or in ’60s Argentina, they would’ve simply disappeared. Were there really all the things TWFs claim they are, TWF would not exist. SF author Joanna Russ claims men wanted to steal her pencils and yet she was published while still in college in the bad ol’ days of 1959. TWF would be snuffed out in a place like Egypt or Malaysia. So who do TWFs want as a solution to diminish the footprint of the straight white male? The very people from Third World Countries which would and will eventually destroy them.

  18. I’m still reeling from how much of a deep-seated misogynist you are. I’m not going to expend the energy needed to unpack all the problematic and flimsy “arguments” you make in this blog, because I know it won’t do any good. You clearly believe that women are inferior to men–good only for being mothers and passive, Christian wives. And you clearly are uncomfortable with agentic female sexuality. It’s depressing to see such things. But I’m heartened by the fact that progress will eventually leave you behind. In many ways you’ve already lost the culture war. You’re most likely too old to grow beyond your narrow views. But I hope younger people on here recognize that this kind of hatred and judgment is toxic and anti-christian, and, more importantly, leads to bad sex.

  20. I haven’t fisked anyone in awhile. This should be fun!

    I’m still reeling from how much of a deep-seated misogynist you are.

    It’s okay for a man to reel from a blow, but there’s something wrong with you if words were enough to put you off-kilter.

    I’m not going to expend the energy needed to unpack all the problematic and flimsy “arguments” you make in this blog, because I know it won’t do any good.

    You wouldn’t sound more impotent if you said that you couldn’t get an erection.

    You clearly believe that women are inferior to men–good only for being mothers and passive, Christian wives.

    You clearly believe that men are inferior to women–good only for being sperm donors and doormats. See, I can pretend I’m psychic too!

    And you clearly are uncomfortable with agentic female sexuality.

    Protip: When midwits use words that they don’t know the meaning of in an effort to look smart, it tends to backfire (“the agentic state which is the psychological state the obedient subject is in when he or she is obeying authority”).

    It’s depressing to see such things.

    I do believe that you are easily depressed by people expressing dissenting views from the rabbit consensus. You do realize that’s a personal weakness and a character flaw, right?

    But I’m heartened by the fact that progress will eventually leave you behind. In many ways you’ve already lost the culture war.

    You’re so cute. Win one brief skirmish of half a century and you think it’s over. This latest flare-up of the eternal culture war has barely even begun, by historical standards.

    You’re most likely too old to grow beyond your narrow views.

    SJWs always project.

    But I hope younger people on here recognize that this kind of hatred and judgment is toxic and anti-christian, and, more importantly, leads to bad sex.

    Judgment is an essential component of living an ethical life, let alone a Christian one. There is a hatred of virtue in being so open-minded that you can’t make one. But of course, SJWs always lie.

  21. Poor woman.She looks absolutely terrible in those photos-really ill, like someone who was in a concentration camp, and I can’t think it’s at all healthy for your mind or body to take drugs that stop your menstrual cycle for three years. I can also understand if you’re working as a stripper you probably want to have cats which don’t demand anything but food, water, petting and that you clean out their litter boxes. She’s in crisis and may not know it. In case she’s reading this and wants helps, my suggestion is this-to take herself toa Roman Catholic Retreat center that offers spiritual counseling preferably with Roman Catholic nuns that staff it and get some spiritual direction. Mount Saint Mary House of Prayer in NJ is probably about 45 minutes from where she is if she’s still in NY but there may be other spiritual resources in her area. They will help her find Jesus, love her and not be judgemental but just honest and will help her if she wants to get out of that life. There are also clergymen who could help but given her profession I think women nuns would be a better resource right now.

    I will pray for her.

  22. I can only assume that you have multiple windows open and have lost track of what blogs you are responding to, because your straw man resembles nothing RSM has posted here.

  23. Well, if we weren’t clued in by a supposed “man” reeling from words he read, his non-ironic use of “problematic” is the clincher.

    We’ve got a Modern Man here, ladies!

  24. I don’t read it that way. I read RSM as someone who likes and loves women but thinks promiscuous sex with people who don’t love them and don’t want to have a marriage and a life with them as a situation leading to unhappiness and possibly drug and alcohol addiction and death. It’s a shame if you think the lifestyle of this woman is a ideal one that leads to health and happiness. I note too that you showed no compassion for this poor woman but merely used it as an opportunity to bash Stacy.

  27. She’s nuts, has never accomplished anything, is wondering if she’s a “genius,” and looks at least 10 years older than she is. And that’s not the worst of it. Stop pretending calling out this woman for the role model she is not is woman hating.

  29. I’m not going to expend the energy needed to unpack all the problematic and flimsy “arguments” you make in this blog, because I know it won’t do any good.

    No shit you ain’t gonna try, and we all know why: your best, your worst, no difference.

    You’re in over your tiara this time.

    Run along.

  33. My dad long ago convinced me that too many people simply cannot handle the idleness that our great wealth provides.

    We are evolved, or created, to work to stay alive and when we cannot do that we get crazy.

  34. There might’ve been a reason Asian commies used to send intellectuals to farms; it was to drive them sane.

  35. Come on guys, this is obviously a joke post satirising all the nonsense thrown about by modern feminists.

    …Right?

  36. “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?”

    Might we conclude that they’re among the majority of women who have an appetite for men who aren’t decent?

  37. That’s a major point: supposedly, she’s in her thirties, but looking at the picture with the wineglass, I’d have guessed at least 45, if not 50.

    Rode hard and put up wet we called it in Kentucky.

  38. There are a lot less expensive divinity schools around than Yale, but you don’t go to divinity school to find Jesus; you go to church to find Him. You go to divinity school to become a Protestant minister.

  39. I would argue that the single girl narrative was already wildly popular, SATC merely helped to destigmatize it and did so only a bit more explicitly than in the past. The left has been exploiting women’s appetite for serial monogamy since the Mary Tyler Moore show and Rhoda, if not longer.

  40. What our esteemed host recognizes is that the current brand of feminism holds that men and women are competitors, when they are actually meant to be complementary.

  41. I suspect she knows she wasn’t serious about finding God, even for a minute. She just wants to imply that she gave God a chance and He failed.

  43. On the other hand, I’m reeling from your puerile sophistry and the condescending attitude of your comment.

    You accuse someone of “flimsy arguments” while your comment is a fallacy-packed bundle of shopworn cliché promoted in non-STEM academia these days.
    Good luck in your Utopia

  46. Every comment on here posted in response to my initial comment was pregnant with hatred for me, which is of course to be expected. But all of these replies were also brimming over with hatred for…you guessed it: women. It seems that all of you are so deeply misogynist you’ve become utterly tone deaf to what it sounds like.

  47. All of human experience teaches us that the “sexually liberated lifestyle” burns one up faster … and yet stupid bimbos keep imagining that they will be the exception.

  48. Sad and pathetic, certainly, even if I (for one) cannot bring myself to pity someone who willingly does this to himself (assuming it is a ‘him’, which is itself a questionable assumption).

  49. “You clearly believe that women are inferior to men–good only for being mothers and passive, Christian wives. And you clearly are uncomfortable with agentic female sexuality.”

    You don’t know me at all, and as for what you say I “believe” about women, how many daughters have you raised in this crazy madhouse culture? From the moment the ultrasound showed us our first child would be a daughter — and this was in 1989 — I began to think very deeply about all the responsibilities that this meant, if our daughter was to become anything other than the kind of hopeless trainwreck Ms. Massey has made of herself. Thank God, our daughter got her degree summa cum laude and two months later married a wonderful Christian man. Our daughter is now teaching a kindergarten class full of the children of Haitian immigrants, and her husband is an attorney. Meanwhile, we have raised two adult sons — both responsible adults, one of them with a wife and two sons — and have two teenage boys and a 12-year-old daughter whom we are endeavoring to steer clear of the swirling vortex of insanity in this world.

    We are doing this work, as parents, while fighting against fanatics like you who, through your hegemonic influence over elite culture, are doing everything in your power to corrupt the morals and warp the personalities of youth.

    As for “agentic female sexuality,” exactly how do you think I became the father of six kids? How did I become a father at all, in the first place? I remember the moment quite vividly — a September afternoon in 1988 — and I can recite the Nine Words that made it happen.

    But you are a damned fool who doesn’t even realize that the dramatic, stilted, old-fashioned language in this blog post is an emulation of Buckley’s style in God and Man at Yale. Would you prefer me to write it flat-out Gonzo mode? Because I could, you know. Just a quick psilocybin flashback and next thing you know, I’d be babbling insanely about that summer night in 1979 when Julie From Mountain Brook and I were tripping around Atlanta on windowpane and decided to make an excursion to the Sports Page on Cheshire Bridge Road. But that kind of digression would be pointless and crazy. We are in the midst of a presidential election, and a National Crisis is upon us, so why am I sitting here discussing “agentic female sexuality” with a complete stranger? What did Sidney Blumenthal know and when did he know it?

    Madness, madness — everything is madness now, and I’ve waded into “this kind of hatred and judgment” as you call it because it is more interesting than the cable-TV freak show of the Benghazi hearings. Intelligent people are bored with mere politics. The real story now is here in the Culture Wars you say we have “already lost,” If this is true, then why should you care what I write on my blog about this Yale-educated whore? Ah! Because you know damned well that the Culture War is not over, and you’re trying to shame into silence the Voice Crying in the Wilderness. Good luck with that. Lots of people have tried to shut me up over the years, and none of them have yet succeeded.

    Selah.
