Feminist separatism is the theory that feminist opposition to patriarchy can be achieved through women's separation from men.[1][2] Much of the theorizing is based in lesbian feminism.
Author Marilyn Frye describes feminist separatism as "separation of various sorts or modes from men and from institutions, relationships, roles and activities that are male-defined, male-dominated, and operating for the benefit of males and the maintenance of male privilege – this separation being initiated or maintained, at will, by women."[3]
