Anarchist feminism

Anarcha-feminism, also called anarchist feminism and anarcho-feminism, combines anarchism with feminism. It generally views patriarchy as a manifestation of involuntary coercive hierarchy, that should be replaced by decentralized free association. Anarcha-feminists believe that the struggle against patriarchy is an essential part of class conflict and the anarchist struggle against the state and capitalism. In essence, the philosophy sees anarchist struggle as a necessary component of feminist struggle and vice versa. L. Susan Brown claims that, "as anarchism is a political philosophy that opposes all relationships of power, it is inherently feminist."

Contrary to popular belief and contemporary association with radical feminism, anarcha-feminism is not an inherently militant party. It is described to be an anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist, anti-oppressive philosophy, with the goal of creating an "equal ground" between males and females. The term "anarcha-feminism" suggests the social freedom and liberty of women, without needed dependence upon other groups or parties.

Mikhail Bakunin opposed patriarchy and the way the law "[subjected women] to the absolute domination of the man." He argued that "[e]qual rights must belong to men and women" so that women could "become independent and be free to forge their own way of life." Bakunin foresaw the end of "the authoritarian juridical family" and "the full sexual freedom of women." (Bakunin on Anarchism, p. 396 and p. 397).Proudhon, on the other hand, viewed the family as the most basic unit of society and of his morality and believed that women had the responsibility of fulfilling a traditional role within the family.
