‘Relationship Anarchy (RA), much like Anarchy, is a much misunderstood term. Coined by Andie Nordgren in a manifesto on Tumblr in 2012, RA applies anarchist principles to intimate relationships, encompassing romantic, friendships, family and community connections. Its values include autonomy, anti-hierarchical practices, anti-normativity, and community interdependence. RA rejects hierarchy, meaning that romantic partners don't automatically take priority over friends or family. RA’s approach is rooted in the belief that all interpersonal relationships are equally valuable and deserving of freedom and respect.’
