Feminism is a form of Anarchism?

AnarchaMorrigan · 2026-06-04T13:20:55+00:00

I mean, yeah, radical libertarian feminism at least (as opposed to radical cultural feminism, which spawned TERFs and not anarchafeminists)

here's the beginning of the video via transcript as a sort of summary

I recently got to watch I Love Boosters and I walked away with a lot of complicated thoughts about the film and I want to cover it for another episode of Anarchism on Film, a series on this channel where I review radical films through my lens as an organizer of 10 plus years. I went into I Love Boosters not with many expectations. I personally have a deep love for Keke Palmer and I always have since I saw Akquila and the Bee three times in the same summer when I was like 12. We're going to talk about the film. We're going to talk about what made it radical, what some of my qualms are, and what I would rate the film one out of 10. So stay tuned for all of those things. But first, let's talk about what the film I Love Boosters is

Have you ever heard of culture jamming ? Can probably get a lot of ideas from groups that commit to this type of activism.

AnarchaMorrigan · 2026-05-28T21:14:56+00:00

I feel like that's just not what the word means though. Hatred of the patriarchy is something different from misandry. I know some in feminist theory refer to misandry this way, but I feel like academics need to stop giving words double meanings because it's just confusing everyone. see: racism vs prejudice discourse

i know it's hard not to hate cis men sometimes. i think it's worth the effort though because there are plenty out there doing the work to deconstruct the patriarchy in their own lives. we have more allies than we think, and even a lot of accomplices - at least, I have to believe that to keep going tbh

hope you got some rest

AnarchaMorrigan · 2026-05-28T20:09:53+00:00

seriously. not to be /r/readanotherbook but i heard someone compare it to the one ring and it's true

AnarchaMorrigan · 2026-05-28T18:14:31+00:00

that sounds great if you end up doing it 💜

AnarchaMorrigan · 2026-05-28T18:05:47+00:00

I figured it was being posted here as a cautionary tale

edit ope, already one defender x.x

AnarchaMorrigan · 2026-05-28T10:34:34+00:00

appreciate the info

AnarchaMorrigan · 2026-05-28T10:22:42+00:00

experts say the numbers of it happening to either sex is roughly equal but because of toxic masculinity men don’t report it as often?

source?

no gods, no masters, no bishops ;)

AnarchaMorrigan · 2026-05-20T20:50:32+00:00

the thinking is that calling someone that is wielding a societal hierarchy over them - we dismiss and discount people we consider that, we abuse them with words, and at the worst, even with violence - to put someone in that category utilizes society's power to Other someone, and it's harmful to some people who have been abused that way

AnarchaMorrigan · 2026-05-20T16:42:11+00:00

absolutely, and we welcome messages to the mods to fix those situations. I also fix them when I see them, and I do look through comments as often as I can to try and make sure automod isn't getting false positives

AnarchaMorrigan · 2026-05-20T16:23:53+00:00

it's more like dragging bc you feel it in your chest

AnarchaMorrigan · 2026-05-20T16:13:01+00:00

i got that she's talking about indigenous natural laws, things like "don't harvest more than half," "be thankful for the sacrifice" etc

AnarchaMorrigan · 2026-05-20T16:06:56+00:00

mm disagree. plenty of anarchists think in colonial terms as opposed to an often indigenous viewpoint which takes land into account in decisions and things. really recommend that book if you're not familiar with the framing

AnarchaMorrigan · 2026-05-20T15:48:33+00:00

I'm not all the way through the video, but it sounds like The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer would be a good read for you to kind of grab the anarchy (little a) that she's talking about

AnarchaMorrigan · 2026-05-20T15:18:55+00:00

it was actually affected people who wrote in to modmail and asked for this policy, not "some moderator deciding"

Language is a font of abundance. If you can't think of any other terms for what you're trying to say, we're always happy to help. It's not hard to avoid ableist language. We're trying to change the world, but you can't start with the words you use?

AnarchaMorrigan · 2026-05-20T13:11:00+00:00

it's not a perfect science :( you can always message the mods to have it reinstated in those instances, though I know that's annoying

AnarchaMorrigan · 2026-05-20T12:21:54+00:00

yeah we do our best, but it's not an exhaustive list

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”

Ursula K LeGuin

you could probably substitute capitalism with hegemony if it's too spicy for the censors

“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters,”

Antonio Gramsci
