		<description>Ok but I don&#039;t think you&#039;re saying anything more than I do. The quote at the start of the article says basically the same thing in fewer words. 
 
Yes feminism is a very important part of any struggle towards anarchism much like anarchism is a very important part of any struggle towards sex equality (or any other type of equality really). </description>

		<description>Well, in anarcha-feminism which is a branch of feminism, we view the oppression of women to be one of the many manifestations of a capitalist, hierarchical society. I&#039;m afraid I can&#039;t say it better than Wikipedia: &quot;In essence, the philosophy sees anarchist struggle as a necessary component of feminist struggle and vice-versa.&quot;  
 
I believe you must take on all manifestations of oppression, including the most prominent one around the globe (oppression of women), in order to create a just society. If one tackles the roots of patriarchy, they are also tackling the roots of other forms of oppression since they go hand in hand. It&#039;s not one or the other. 
 
In the most oppressed groups of people in the world, i.e. in some southern African nations, the worst off are the women. Even if a culture is treated badly, the women of that culture are treated worse, i.e. lower-class African-American women vs. lower-class African-American men. That makes the oppression of women the most universal form of oppression in the world. 
 
In essence, I believe that if you oppose patriarchy, sexism, and oppression of women, you are a feminist. It saddens me that some people who are for all intents and purposes feminists, do not embrace the term. </description>

		<description>No, I disagree that feminism can&#039;t get rid of the cause as well as the symptom. You are assuming that feminism is only about women&#039;s rights. </description>

		<description>&quot;But Feminism is not going to remove the strain of sexism from the world, for the Capitalist system demands it.&quot; 
 
I beg you to learn a bit more about feminism before painting it with such a broad brush. You are referring specifically to liberal feminism, which certainly exists, but does not define the entire movement. Certainly anarcha-feminists like myself couldn&#039;t agree more that sexism is a symptom, not a cause, of oppression. </description>

		<description>I&#039;m not certain I parse you correctly. You agree with me that Sexism is a symptom of oppression but you disagree that we need to get rid of the cause to get rid of the symptom once and for all? </description>
