Abstract

Relationship Anarchy is a proposal that applies anarchist principles to personal relationships, questioning the norms and roles that regulate them. It is based on diversity, freedom, and respect for everyone and seeks to create networks of mutual support and affection that overcome the heteronormative and monogamous nuclear family model. It is from its origin a revolutionary lifestyle politics proposal to challenge patriarchal and capitalist power structures. This paper delves into the analysis of power inequalities and how they generate different forms of oppression according to gender, background, sexual orientation, and other identities. The intersectional gaze analyzes how these oppressions combine and accumulate, how they affect the people who suffer them, especially women, and how a framework of normative dissidence such as the one proposed by relationship anarchy can address this problem.
