Anarcha-Feminism (and Youth Liberation)
Anarcha-Feminism is the subsection of anarchism that focuses on combatting patriarchy. Patriarchy is a hierarchy that treats some people (Primarily adult cisgender men) as full people who act upon the world, and treats others (Primarily women (cis and trans), trans people (of all kinds), kids, and enslaved people (ex: Ancient Rome). Collectively referred to as marginalized genders or the gender marginalized) as objects to be acted upon and resources to be used and exploited, often for sexual and reproductive purposes. Anarcha-Feminism also works to resist the co-opting of anarchism towards patriarchal ends.
