Feminist wack job Anna Slatz at Reduxx Magazine claims credit for my reporting, throws massive temper tantrum when told NO
She tried to struggle session me and failed. Too bad for her.

I’d like to take you back to Thursday, January 25th, when I broke the story of a family in Montana who had their child kidnapped by the state and brought to an out-of-state facility that socially transitioned her gender against the parents’ wishes:
Well, something interesting happened yesterday.
Feminist magazine Reduxx ran the same story and called it an “exclusive.”
This was a surprise to me because I reported on this story four days before them…so it was a bit confusing why they would report it as an exclusive when not only was it not an exclusive, but it was four days too late even to be considered a scoop.
I found out about this when Libs of Tik Tok posted their story….and I immediately responded that I had broken the story last week, but was glad they were catching up.
One might think this would be an easy enough mistake to correct. The feminists at Reduxx obviously failed to do their basic due diligence to see if anyone else had reported the story before them when they posted their story….fine. People make mistakes.
But now that they were alerted to the fact that they did not have an exclusive, they should remove the exclusive label.
It’s not that I’m opposed to them reporting on the story - I think it’s great that they reported on it to spread this family’s story as far as possible. That’s always what I hope will happen - that people will take the stories I put out and run with them.
But continuing to use the label of “exclusive” is non-sensical since it was provably not an exclusive:
You might say, “Why does this matter? It matters if the story is told.”
It matters for a few reasons:
When platforms steal the credit of independent journalists, it impacts the ability of those independent journalists to fund their work. If independent journalism isn’t funded, it doesn’t happen. And, one might argue, it’s especially egregious for a publication claiming to support women to throw a female independent journalist under the bus.
The truth should matter. And the feminists at Reduxx Magazine seem to be convinced that January 29 comes before January 25. Calendars are a real thing, not a lived experience that can be manipulated to the whims of women who need to cover their asses.
But most importantly, in this case, the feminists of Reduxx tried to gaslight me into a struggle session and threatened me with cancelation if I didn’t comply.
Instead of accepting that they had made a mistake and updating their article accordingly, the feminists who run Reduxx Magazine proceeded to have an all-day temper tantrum in which they threatened me (again, a FEMALE independent journalist) with a smear campaign if I didn’t bend the knee to them and admit they had the “exclusive” they were so desperate to have.
You know the rules when it comes to a struggle session: We never bend the knee to the woke….and we especially never bend the knee to feminists.
I’ll walk you through what happened and explain how you can withstand a struggle session if you find yourself in a position like this.
Let me introduce you to Anna Slatz.
Anna is the insufferable feminist who claimed to have an exclusive on a story she reported four days after I did.
I became acquainted with Anna when I replied to Christopher Rufo that I had broken the story four days ago (with receipts, of course).
Anna (who, last I checked, was not my boss…nor has anyone ordained her as the person who gets to decide what is and is not journalism) replied that I didn’t report the story because it took her significantly longer to research and report the story than I did.
She also noted that she did not approve of me simply posting a video (followed up by an immediate two hour stream explaining it on my channel), because she decided to make more work for herself than was necessary to tell the same story.
Anna and I have different values. When I heard about the story, my priority was getting it out as fast as possible to make sure the public knew what was happening. If that sacrifices a little bit of fluff and PR strategy, I’m ok with that because those things can always be added and expanded upon later.
Anna’s values are to take her sweet time informing the public, taking five days to research something that could be done faster, while still managing to produce a piece that didn’t give significantly more information than the original reporting released four days prior to her story. I’m sure that she drank many soy lattes and ate a lot of vegan food while she produced her journalism, so that added time to the project.
So, I responded to Anna….and thus began the meltdown of the feminists who can’t read a calendar.
Anna’s first argument was that she received a DM about the story a day before I reported it, and therefore, she had an exclusive story even though she posted it four days after I posted mine.
When I pointed this out to her by asking her what day she released her story (January 29th, versus my story being released on January 25th), Anna proceeded to paint a sob story to try to gaslight me to believe that I hadn’t produced journalism because she did not believe that a primary source video constitutes journalism.
This is the strategy of the feminists and woke leftists. They have no real argument and, when they know they are losing, they just start slinging as much BS as possible to overwhelm you into feeling as though you have done something wrong. This is how women gain power - they try to convince you to voluntarily hand over control to them through emotional manipulation.
When someone tries to manipulate you like this, the first thing you need to do is hinge back into reality.
The reality is this:
I published my story on January 25th, she published hers four days later on January 29th. It doesn’t matter if she had a DM dated the day before I published - the fact is that I got it one day after her by someone who was in touch with the family and got the story out within two hours, whereas Anna took her sweet time reporting it.
Anna is not my boss, nor is she the arbitour of what is and is not journalism, and there is no universe in which primary source video evidence is not journalism. It makes no difference if Anna exerted more effort - it’s not my fault she works inefficiently and over-complicated a story.
Therefore, Anna was trying to gaslight me into believing that multiple false things were true, because gaslighting was the only way she could win.
Anna could have admitted that she didn’t have an exclusive and removed the label but maintained she did better reporting than me, and I probably would have said, “Yes, you did a lot more work; good for you.”
But that’s not what she did. She dug in and declared that my journalism wasn’t journalism, which is unhinged from reality.
You have to recognize when people are doing this to you - Anna was only trying to gain power in a situation where she had found herself on the back foot because she was clearly and obviously wrong.
But Anna was dug in now and she continued her meltdown, grabbing at every manipulation she could muster:
Remember, Anna having a DM from a source is not the same thing as publishing a story, but she keeps doubling down on the gaslight try to make anyone watching that it is.
Because the date argument wasn’t working out, Anna switched her gaslight to take issue with my calling the story a “scoop.”
But none of that changes that I published my story four days before she claimed she had an exclusive.
And now we move into Anna’s favorite gaslighting tactic: The smear campaign.
Remember back to when I reported on the corruption at Gays Against Groomers, using internal documentation provided by a dozen whistleblowers, and in retribution, the CEO started a smear campaign against me to deflect from her own malfeasance? If you missed this saga, here’s the first few articles:
Anna, because she’s a good journalist and not at all bitter that someone reported on a story before her, started spreading the same smear campaign as Jaimee Michell did when I reported on her.
This is a common tactic you will see among the woke. They can’t win, so they lie to try to gain power over you. It only works if you allow it to.
I’ve already debunked this smear campaign on multiple occasions, which Anna would know had she bothered to do journalism. But alas, journalism is apparently too hard for her so she has to resort to crying on the internet.
The TLDR is that I dated someone in college who got caught up in something his childhood best friend did, and pleaded guilty to a crime he didn’t commit because the government threatened him. with life in prison if he didn’t. I was loyal to him, and I have absolutely no regrets. The real story is here.
This. is a smear campaign that has been used against me for years. And sadly, for weak bitches like Anna, it’s lost its effectiveness because no one cares anymore. I don’t care how many woke bitches try to get me to bend the knee to them using something that happened 20 years ago - never apologize to the mob when you did nothing wrong.
You can see I posted the links above where I debunked this over a year ago. But Anna is such an amazing and hardworking journalist that she didn’t even bother to look before spreading a smear campaign on the internet.
Instead, she doubles down and keeps whining on the internet about how she had an exclusive on a story she reported four days after I did.
Now, Anna was not the only feminist from Reduxx Magazine whining in my feed yesterday. Here are a few others.
Meet Genevieve.
Genevieve also has a substack but sadly has about 10,000 subscribers less than I do, which makes her extremely bitter.
After those exchanges, Genevive was so brave that she decided to block me on Twitter so she could keep responding to my tweets using the same debunked smear campaign as Anna.
What amazing journalists Reduxx magazine has!
I also had a “reality-based woman” who can’t read a calendar, Eva popped into my feed to demonstrate that she doesn’t know that January 25, 2024, comes before January 29, 2024. To her credit, she didn’t sit around and argue with me all day like her bosses did.
There were some others, too, but they are ridiculous and not worth mentioning, as I’ve already lost interest in spending any additional time on women who can’t read a calendar and spread smear campaigns against people who report news before they get around to it.
Always remember that if you don’t have independent journalists, you don’t have news. Outlets like Reduxx don’t care about protecting women - they are the first to attack women who are inconvenient for them.
And January 25 will always come four days before January 29, no matter how many feminist tears are shed.

"Anna could have admitted that she didn’t have an exclusive and removed the label but maintained she did better reporting than me, and I probably would have said, “Yes, you did a lot more work; good for you.”
This.
I don't fault her for not being aware of your article. Could have Googled it , but oh well we are all task-saturated in this busy world.
All they've gotta do is remove the "exclusive" tag and say a one sentence thanks to you for breaking the story. Just good journalistic manners.
Maybe she has trouble tracking her cycle too 🤔
