Oh boy, I once said Reade is the gift that keeps on giving and haven't been disappointed yet.
YES, LET'S TALK about her "ally", this creepy White Knight who brags trauma expertise but who gets his kicks continuously posting provocative bad takes.

I don't know why @Columbia allows themselves to be associated with @anthonyzenkus, a swell guy who, at the age of 38, discriminated against a 58yo woman while working for the Youth Bureau in Huntington, New York. The case has been cited in several books on work and aging.

The woman's name was Janie Schmidt. She said that once Zenkus had become her supervisor, he treated her like shit in comparison to the younger female colleagues, who he would ask to come to the bar and hear his band play. Their younger colleagues were 22 to 29.
Gross.

The details can be found on the "Memorandum & Order" file at the link, as those caps are insufficient to describe the horrible way a near-40yo guy treated a near-60yo female colleague.
By now, most of us Zenkus watchers know abt this case. But...

...my bigger irritance right now is his asinine tweet from last month, which he eventually admitted was intended to provoke (its expected) reaction.
This ridiculousness here, "just wanting to start a conversation" (bull):

Everything this guy says under his tweet is a case study in the overzealousness of White Knighting. Everything.
One of his responses: "...most women in prison are there because of something a man did to them, coercion being the prime reason. And most are non-violent."

That's a big load of b.s. & easily checkable. MOST women in prison are there for violent crimes. *White* women are criming at an increased rate, too.
And while he's correct in stating that many more women in prison report histories of abuse, not all of them have been abused.

Yet in response to a prime example of the unabused, purely evil murderer serving life w/o parole, he replied that women "are not capable of the same degree of evil [as men]" because of the power that patriarchy gives men.
That murderer is Jodi Ann Arias.

This is where I go off.
This was Jodi Aria's victim, Travis Alexander, a 30yo motivational speaker from Riverside, CA who lived in Arizona at the time of his murder. She tried to paint him as abusive & pedophilic, after her story of intruders failed.

Re: all that’s known abt Arias’s early life, there was no sexual abuse, no men “did anything” to her in order to make her into a monster that stalked, stabbed him about his body 27 times, slit his throat from ear to ear, and shot him in the head.

Arias is serving life w/o parole and should never, ever be released.
That said, I've other victims whose female acquaintances were similarly psychopathic and should never see the light of freedom again, either.
I had to pare down a short list bc there are just *too many*.

This is Shayna Hubers's vic, Ryan Poston, a 29yo attorney from Fort Mitchell, Kentucky (& his dog, held by his father after his son's murder).
Victim blaming? Yes. Hubers tried to paint him as emotionally abusive and claimed history of DV and self-defense on the 911 call.

Also like Arias, there was no sexual abuse, no men “did anything” to her in order to make her into a monster that stalked the Hell out of her ex-boyfriend and then shot him several times before he had a date with another woman.

This one hits: Victoria Rickman's vic: Will Carter Jr., a 30yo father & business owner from Atlanta, Georgia.
While their relationship was volatile, it was volatile because of Victoria. She once hit him over the head with a hammer, bit him in the back, and stalked him...

...and lied abt DV that she didn’t suffer. It hits us survivors bc she had the self-awareness to record herself stalking him, attempting to force her way into his place. “I’m scared of you, you terrify me...get out of here,” he said, repeatedly trying to get away from her.

As w the others, there was no sexual abuse, no men “did anything” to her in order to make Rickman into a monster that falsely accused multiple men (including the victim) of rape, stalked the Hell out of Carter, and then shot him several times.

From prison, she sure sounds like a certain someone else that Zenkus defends on a regular basis (false rape and abuse accusations while clearly being a huge liar).
Victoria Rickman is currently serving life without parole.

This is Shanna Goylar's vic, Cari Lea Farver, a 37yo expert coder and devoted mom & friend.
Victim blaming? Over-the-top victim blaming, seeing that Golyar posed as Cari after the murder and acted as if “Cari” was a crazy stalker for three years.

Cari's only crime was dating the guy Goylar wanted.
Like the others, there was no sexual abuse in her past, but one man [likely] traumatized her by shaking her 5-month-old son to death in 1999.

...that did not make her into a monster who killed her ex’s girlfriend, posed as the victim/painted her as a stalker, burned her own house down (killing her 4 companion animals) to blame it on the victim, and took a keepsake photo of Cari’s decomposing foot.
