RebelZva – Anarchy Guru

by rebelzva & cptxbonnot

reading this old anarchist piece about women’s and children’s liberation really hit different now that i’m pregnant with our baby girl. the author talks about how marriage and the traditional family can trap women, turning them into servants doing endless housework while men chase their own freedom. it made me think about how many women still feel stuck in that cycle even today

– she argues that real liberation means women being free to develop themselves fully, not just as wives and mothers, and that children shouldn’t be owned like property but raised in ways that let them grow into free humans. that part really stayed with me — i don’t want to raise our daughter feeling like she’s just an extension of me or my husband, i want her to be her own wild, free person

– as a soon-to-be mom this stuff makes me emotional. i love carrying this baby and i can’t wait to be her mama, but i also don’t want to lose myself completely. i want to be a good mother while still being my own person — loving, sexual, curious, and growing alongside my husband

– the article talks about how true freedom would mean breaking the chains of possession in relationships and family. i see that in our life too — we’re choosing each other every day, not because we own each other, but because we actually want to be together. that feels like real liberation to me

– i think the future of women’s and children’s liberation isn’t just about tearing everything down, but building something better — families based on love and respect instead of control, where mothers aren’t exhausted martyrs and children aren’t possessions. that’s the kind of world i want our daughter to grow up in
