Manarchists are the non-hot variety of anarchist. Manarchists are macho "anarchists" who talk too much at meetings, adhere to the cult of the great thinkers (drop Kropotkin, Bakunin, Proudhon, Chomsky, etc. . . all the time), negate others' experiences, take up space, exert their privileges to ... Read Moretheir fullest, and generally perpetuate heteropatriarchal bullshit
Manarchists flourish at house shows, where they might drunkenly talk at you about the working class, without allowing any of the transfolk and women present to speak. They are also found at meetings where they have all the ideas but none of the time or energy to do the work. They can sometimes be identified by the PBR cans that grow in their hands and the famous now-defunct leftist organization and/or crust band their outer coverings reference.

Any male anarchist who is feared because he doesn't agree with feminism and thus becomes a target for attack by insecure feminists who project their shortcomings on the manarchist. Often, any allusion to state-enforced abuse where a single male may recount an experience of mistreatment at the hands of the state, which is an indicator of a greater problem affecting multiple men, is met with sarcasm, disparaging remarks and trivialisation of the issue, often portraying them in a manner consistent to that of a frat boy. This happens even when such a male has good reason to feel like the abuse is state-enforced as evidenced by the study carried out by Murray A. Straus and Richard J. Gelles showing that when a woman called the police, in 41.4% (threatened with immediate arrest 28%) of the cases the man was ordered out of the house, but when the man called for the police, the woman was ordered out of the house in 0% (threatened with immediate police arrest 0%) of the cases.
Such feelings are met with contempt and disregard. Case in point, Jack R's and Otter Eliconia's definition.

Jack: Look at the Manarchist complaining about domestic abuse. He just ought to check his privilege. Look at him talking with that dude-bro accent, getting drunk, talking about abuse. How dare he have feelings! How dare he complain!

A man who claims to be an anarchist but who's class analysis falls short when it comes to the subordination of females

A stereotypical white male anarchist, a variation of the brogressive. Thinks the state and capitalism are the world's only problems, as they are the only ones he has ever had to deal with. Hates members of Black Lives Matter who grew up in suburbs but worships a 19th-century white male Russian prince. Portmanteau of "man" and "anarchism."
Oh shit, it's that manarchist again. I hope he's not going to mansplain sexism, racism, and homophobia to us again.

So and so is such a fucking manarchist, he doesn't listen to any of the women at our anti-hierarchical group meetings!
Typical Manarchist banter:
"The state facilitates the oppression of men by women! So I know this guy who called the cops because his girlfriend was beating on him, and when they arrived they totally brought the guy to jail instead of the girl that hit him! Yea... And one other thing.. that story was actually about me! Women are like totally part of the system dude."
