Anarcha-feminism

Kytha Kurin Anarcha-feminism Why the Hyphen? 1980 Open Road No. 11, Summer 1980

“Most anarchists had never been asked to so directly live their anarchism and found the feminist insistence on “process” and the repeated “interruptions” about male domination upsetting. And many feminists who had been attracted by anarchist theory but were really more concerned with anarchist practice, felt frustrated and refused to be placated with the rhetoric that would have one believe that anarchists couldn’t possibly be authoritarian sexists.”

Masculinity: Contested Territory

So frequent is the assertion in feminist discourse that masculinity is inseparable from patriarchy that many feminists use “masculinity”…

“The inclination to talk about “masculinity” as a replacement for naming patriarchy is an inclination, consciously or not, to move focus to a rather nebulous category of gender presentation rather than have to talk about the social location cis men specifically inhabit. “Masculine people” is not a coherent or empowered social group under patriarchy; cis men, however, are.”

“From the Catholic Church to Hollywood, our society may occasionally put on some pretenses of opposing rape, but in every way that matters abet and defend rapists.”

“If there’s one deep and profound disagreement with the left I have it’s a systematic privileging of collective stability or unity over individual free association. It’s a sad fact that leftist activists often hunger for community far more than they hunger for freedom. And one consequence of this is a persistent inability to deal with conflict, a sense that schism and “betrayal of the peace” are greater crimes than the underlying issues prompting said fracture.”

Do I Need To Be An Optimist To Be An Anarchist?

Many people new to anarchist ideas might find much that they resonate with in the political philosophy, but feel that they have some…

“If it is your belief that “there will always be bad people” regardless of the structures that surround them, the logical conclusion of that belief is “so let’s make sure the harm they can do is limited and challengeable” not “so let’s build a huge social structure that allows us to control them and hope none of them take power of it!””

The Point of DARVO

DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) is a common tactic deployed by abusers to co-opt one of the few (potential) sources of…

“Terrains of power are analyzable even when propaganda works to obfuscate them, and from that analysis must come action. All else remains complicity with the authoritarian status quo.”

“In short: respecting children and young people’s body autonomy does not in any way diminish the ethical obligations of adults; autonomy means many things but one of the primary things is “freedom from coercion,” which includes freedom from manipulation, grooming, and sexual exploitation.”

Paedophilia and American anarchism - the other side of Hakim Bey

An article about the paedophilia of lifestylist, mystic, individualist "anarchist" Hakim Bey, aka Peter Lamborn Wilson

“In this writer’s opinion, the pedophile writings of Hakim Bey indicate a general deceit in his philosophy, and are evidence that his concept of the Temporary Autonomous Zone is inspired by opportunism, not by good will. He presents arguments for human freedom while actually wishing to create situations where he is free to put his deranged sexuality into practice. This is an abuse of anarchism, and new readers of Hakim Bey should take the pedophilia into consideration before being led “down the garden path.” Once the awkwardness has been overcome and we look at pedophilia as an item for discussion, we will make very short work of it. All attempts to justify the practice are morally idiotic, and the TAZ is no more than a “Neverland” on the anarchist landscape.”

The Illusion of the 'Real' Rape Victim

"I only hate her because she made it harder for real victims"

“Many victims report that the most traumatizing part of being raped was not the attack itself, but what came after: the paralysing distress of not being believed.”

Against a Liberal Abolitionism

In the explosion of interest in the topic of abolitionism during and after the explosive summer of 2020 its meaning and purpose has become…

“If you are an abolitionist because of sympathy, what do you do when you (inevitably) come across a person who has done such heinous harm that you cannot even attempt to find that sympathy for?”

“I’m writing this because I’m frustrated. I’m frustrated with the responses to the uprising in Iran. I’m frustrated about how sadly unsurprising they are given the landscape of the discussions surrounding hijab and feminism have been developing for decades.”
