Abstract
My paper discusses the questions of intersectionality on the basis of
anarchafeminists’ experiences in Poland. Anarchafeminist ideas as located
at the junction of feminism and anarchism hardly ever satisfy those
who have chosen one of the ideologies. In Polish society feminists and
anarchists are usually constructed as Others. Anarchafeminists combine
the ideas of both the groups and consequentially, become aliens not only
in society, but also inside feminist and anarchist movements. Addressing
various forms of oppression, anarchafeminism seems to be a form of
intersectionalism, which some anarchists and feminists may regard as
a dissolution of their movement goals. Historically, anarchists used to
claim universalism and accused feminists of particularism, as well as
reductionism. Feminists, on the other hand, often regard anarchafemnists
as unrealistic.
