This is probably unexpected. What? The woman has something to say? The mindless follower of the group? The ROH whore? What is a whore, anyway?
I make the accusation most everyone in this society is a bigger whore than I have ever been. So I manipulated the feeble minds of a couple men to gain an important business advantage by using my sexual superiority…its much less an evil than what most of you commit every day. Besides, I’ve really only proved my point. I forced myself into this company using these all too familiar tactics, and now I’ve forced myself into the spotlight. ROH is the beginning, and it is the platform for our revolution.
This is my call out to you weak-minded, conforming, chauvinistic women. Existence precedes essence, however, so an individual is not born a “woman,” but becomes one via societal pressures and standards… and the women you have become are not women to be proud of.
Historically women have almost always been considered deviant and abnormal, with maleness as the ultimate ideal. From the talmud to the bible to the qur'an women have been run into the ground as second class citizens. Many centuries ago one male, vengeful god was venerated, and women came to be seen as the property of men. The Old Religion of humankind, in which the ultimate creator was the FEMALE Earth Goddess, became labeled as “evil.” Witchcraft, as it would come to be known, was banished, and suppressed into the night, along with any remaining free spirits.
Women continue to be exploited and devalued today through the patriarchal political system we have set up. Our modern institutions such as marriage, childcare and domestic work all exploit and devalue women, as they keep them in the control of men. Why are women still earning less pay than men for the same jobs? Why do the rich men at the top of our system hold us down and hold us back?
Men cannot take all the blame, however, as women also exploit and devalue themselves. Women often seek to conform to the most simplistic, plastic stereotypes of female sexuality. Every day you wake up and thoughtlessly go on about your business, primping and preening to be sure you look your best. You spend thousands of dollars at the mall to ensure you have the latest look of the season. You ravage the latest magazines full of diet tricks and fashion advice, hoping for the quick and easy solution to all your life troubles. Maybe some breast implants will help your cause. Perhaps you also need some liposuction, a face lift, a tan and a Brazilian wax job. Day after day you subject yourselves to the most torturous beauty (shallow) regimens all under the false pretenses of self service.
The Age of the Fall is comprised of social outcasts…but none are more outcast than women. We cannot seem to find our place in this universe and claim it. Left up to men (and more recently ourselves as well), we are sexual objects, breeders, possessions. And what do we do to stand up and fight against this? Most of you accept this horrible fate at the very least, while many of you perpetuate and encourage it. It was such a short time ago that our mothers were beginning to see the light, supporting feminism and individuality —‘burning their bras’ and picketing outside of Playboy. Now we are getting implants and wearing the infamous bunny logo as a symbol of our so-called “liberation.” We are not liberated. We have conformed to male ideals. You now have a chance to redeem yourselves and your entire gender. Stand up and claim your rightful place in the world as a respectable human being. Join like-minded strong women in the quest to destroy this society and its senseless standards. Join us, we are The Age of the Fall. - Lacey

Says the woman who allowed herself to be physically pushed away by Jimmy Jacobs on 9/15, who was okay with her "lover" saying he felt nothing after she admitting loving him, who dressed up in fishnets and clothes three times trashier than she ever wore as a businesswoman.
So who really sold out the sisterhood? Who is really exploiting and devaluing herself? It's you Lacey and don't you dare pretend any differently.
I agree with Ari. Learn to practice what you preach, Lacey.
Is it that, or are you 2 above me scared of the power in her words? Are you scared that she's a woman as smart as she is attractive?
I'm inclined to agree with a lot of what Lacey says. However, I also don't think her actions back up her words. When I saw that video of the Age of the Fall's debut, the Lacey I saw there doesn't match up to the Lacey writing this message, and until she practices what she preaches she strikes me as being far closer to Patty Hearst than Angela Davis.
I dont know what to say ...
I'm supportive, but you have to practice what you preach as those above us have stated.
Wrestling is fucking stoneage in its attitudes towards women and whilst I hope ROH would stand against that, they never really did, the girls still flash the flesh to the hoots and grunts of the idiotic and animalistic love cripples making up so much of the audience. They allowed a woman to be lead around on a fucking dog leash for fucks sake.
Could be worse, it's not like its Christy Hemme bawling in the ring about women not being taken seriously in this industry and being treated like whores and then allowing herself to be dressed and booked in exactly the same manor.
I guess the argument is it's about choice, but then you talk extensively about beauty regimens. Haven't you conformed like that? That's not an accusation of hypocrisy and I hope what you're saying is that you conform no more and dammit I would welcome that.
This is an industry rife with degenerate attitudes towards race, religion but worst of all to sex. If you'll TRULY be the one to stand up and say that that's not acceptable anymore then I'll follow you. What you say is true, what you say is right and what you say, especially in this industry is incredibly brave, but you have to live it now ...
The Age of the Fall is the truth behind the lies we've been sold for so many years. It's responsible for some of the most courageous syntax this industry has ever seen.
You've stuck your neck out now Lacey, and you have given yourself an incredible amount to live up to, make us proud by following it through and I dont see how a single fan, or female in this business cant in all good faith stand by your side.
Nows the time for the women in this Age of the Fall to be heard, read that, read it again, it's a rallying cry, will you answer it?
i swear this just sounded like that talk in English Class....seriously....get a life.
Oh no, the woman wrestler who takes bumps all the time got PUSHED by a MAN?! What, almost like they're EQUALS or something? It's a tragedy, really.
Why wouldn't she be happy? Jimmy's finally become a man and gotten over his silly little puppy love and obsession with earning her affection. That's kind of what she wanted all along.
Not to nitpick, but technically the Talmud is a secondary religious text for us Jews. The Torah is the main text. If you wanted to include all of the important Jewish writings, including the Torah, the Talmud, and the books of the prophets, you would refer to it as the Tanakh.
Gabe, no one is touching your booking skills.
Taco Night
Jimmy literally shoved your face in disgust. You claim you manipuluated your way to the spotlight, that obviously being the one Age of the Fall represents, and gloat about it.
Now... all of your points are well made, and I can't really argue with you on most, but that doesn't negate the fact that you are a retard and a hypocrite for taking two completely different stances in this prose.
This feels more like the written vomit of a high schooler way out of her league trying to impress Tyler Black with her "witty angry gonzo writing".
Do something original and stand out. The fact that you fit is bad and all, but the fact that you fit in and then try to brag about it, makes me want to slice flakes off my cornea with the lid off canned food.
Nice Sartre quote Lacey. You're a regular Simone de Beauvoir.
Lacey rocks! I totally agree on this entry.
