CW: Contains some mentions of pornography, BDSM and child sexual abuse.

“Genevieve Gluck” is a name you’re probably (or probably not) familiar with.

She is a gender critical feminist, journalist and the main founder of the independent radical feminist news outlet Reduxx. However, almost everything about her is bullshit.

“Genevieve Gluck” is not her real name. Her real name is Myra J. Pearson, a poet.

Myra is originally from Blacksburg, Virginia, but moved to South Korea several years ago to teach English at an all-women’s university called Duksung Women’s University. After that, she moved to and currently lives in Kyoto, Japan with her partner Mark Lentz (also known as “Henry Demos”).

Mark Lentz is an analog photographer and musician who is part of the small two-person indie band “Nice Legs”. He is also the head PR of the indie game studio Chuhai Labs, founded in 2020 by industry and Nintendo veteran Giles Goddard. A photo that is still up on their website shows her posing with the peace sign along with all the other members if you scroll a little.

Myra’s poetry work was featured in the Boston Poetry Magazine and Chiron Review, and was a 2015 Pushcart nominee. She took the surname “Gluck” from Louise Glück, famed feminist poet and one of her inspirations. Myra claims to have delved herself into trans issues in 2015, but from archived copies of her old Twitter account, there was not a single tweet from 2017 and '18 where she talked about it.

Before Reduxx, Myra Pearson was the founder of the now-defunct feminist art webzine Period(dot)ink, where its official Twitter account has a profile picture of a painting of a woman punching a man in a boxing match.

But, wait! I thought you were against men in women’s sports? So you’re telling me that it’s OK to put men in women’s sports as long as the women are the ones that win?

In her current identity as “Genevieve Gluck” she has multiple times defended Germaine Greer’s book about youthful young men and boys as an “art history book”, while ignoring that the book at one point had a cover photo of a shirtless, teenaged Björn Andrésen, who rightfully took offense to the cover and had it removed. I don’t know if I can buy into that “art history book” stuff, because if a man wrote a book about like this about youthful young women and called it “The Beautiful Girl”, there would be rioting in the streets.

Myra also recently tried to defend a mother who according to her son sexually abused him in the past before he killed her. While I do not condone what he did and was mortified by the way he brutalised her (strangling her to death and then raping her corpse), what if he wasn’t lying? What if he was telling the truth? Would she say the same thing?

Myra is not a journalist, either. She never studied journalism in university or college, and does not have a degree in journalism.

Despite hating pornography and wanting it banned, she seems to not stop talking about it. She once said that neopronouns were utilised in BDSM porn stories on Usenet (where they supposedly come from) as a way for readers to identify with characters in them with no evidence to back these claims up.

She hates all trans people regardless of their viewpoints and views all of them as dangerous fetishists (especially MtF), including transsexualism. She has a black-and-white view that consists of “all the men dangerous, all the women vulnerable”.

Myra is actively erasing the past and pretending it never existed. That’s why a lot of her old profiles as Myra Pearson are deleted or shut down. She even took her current Twitter username “WomenReadWomen” from an account ran by Joanna Walsh called “Read_Women”.

Porn, along with trans issues, has rotted her brain to the point where she has become a shadow of a person.

TL;DR: Popular GC radfem and fraudulent “journalist” is a former poet who hasn’t lived in the US for years and currently lives in East Asia with her partner who is a musician for a small band, photographer, and the member of an indie game studio founded by a Nintendo alumnus. Also has some questionable views on men and female creeps.

EDIT: Updated this post with sources, and removed some more inflammatory remarks. I was a bit livid at the time of first writing this.
