Anarcha-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. 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 militant, or radical feminism, Anarcha-feminism is not an inherently militant party. It is described to be an anti-authoritarianism, anti-capitalism, anti-oppressive philosophy, with the goal to create 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.
