My idea of what feminism is is not warped, I can assure you. I am also familiar with Simone de Beauvoir and Emma Goldman, who is one of the people who have inspired my political stance the most. I am merely claiming that anarchy rids a society of all hierarchy, meaning that feminism is simply implied. The concept of feminism is therefore not useful once anarchy has been achieved. It is however most certainly a stepping stone in the pathway to anarchy. I would like to remind you that Goldman actually opposed first wave feminism and the suffragette movement. She was perhaps an anarcha-feminist, as she opposed all hierarchy including the patriarchy. As you seem well versed in feminist and anarchist literature, you have most likely come across this Goldman quote before. "I demand the independence of woman, her right to support herself; to live for herself; to love whomever she pleases, or as many as she pleases. I demand freedom for both sexes, freedom of action, freedom in love and freedom in motherhood." This is all included in anarchism.

weird take on intersectionality but ok
