Anarchosocialist Intersectional Feminism. Social anarchism is the branch of anarchism that sees individual freedom as interrelated with mutual aid. Social anarchist thought emphasizes community and social equality as complementary to autonomy and personal freedom. It attempts to accomplish this balance through freedom of speech, which is maintained in a decentralized federalism, with freedom of interaction in thought and subsidiarity. Subsidiarity is best defined as "that one should not withdraw from individuals and commit to the community what they can accomplish by their own enterprise and industry" and that "or every social activity ought of its very nature to furnish help to the members of the body social, and never destroy and absorb them", or the slogan "Do not take tools out of people's hands". Additionally it is in combination with intersectional feminism. The definition of intersectional feminism, Coined by lawyer and critical race theorist Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989, intersectional feminism is “a prism, for seeing the way in which various forms of inequality often operate together and exacerbate each other.” In other words, the term recognizes the different factors such as race, class, and sexual orientation, among others, that affect gender equality. Intersectional feminism acknowledges that a middle-class cisgender white woman and an impoverished transgender Black woman, for example, are not exactly fighting the same battle.
