Funny thing: All the feminists I have known had a primarily anarchist orientation. I guess it depends on who you run around with - and/or whether one's information comes from personal contacts or mass media propaganda sources.
I know very little people with an 'anarchist orientation' because, obviously, anarchism isn't exactly popular. And the set containing 'anarchist' and 'feminist' is virtually empty as far as my personal sampling goes. But, in general terms...
...Feminism is conceptual nonsense. If there are legal restrictions placed on women those have to be abolished based on the principle of equality before the law, but that's a *liberal* tenet not a 'feminist' one. In other words 'feminism' is not needed. And no wonder in practice feminism is just another tool of oppression.
If that seems "wrong" look up Emma Goldman, Lucy Parsons and Simone De Beauvoir.
Here's the only valuable thing somehow related to some 'feminists' that I can think of.

Well this would handle the CIA's major blackmail tool in use today. And overnight, the CIA would likely lose interest in running orphanages all around the world ... unless we're deeply mistaken and acktshuallay the CIA be a humanitarian gift from $DEITY, masquerading as a global blackmail and torture chamber?
And yes, Simone De Beauvoir shows up there. But, the abolition of such criminal nonsense as 'age of consent' legislation is a purely libertarian issue, not a 'feminist' one.
And here I'd thought that "feminism" was only about taxing the "other" half of our population ... and you're saying there's not much more to it than that since most these other "feminist" issues are actually libertarian issues. Your logic-fu is compelling, that's for sure.
