Insightful text on relationship anarchy with a focus on an asexual and/or aromantic perspective

What relationship anarchy hinges on the most, for me, is the equality it seeks to create across the relationship board, so that sexual relationships are not superior to nonsexual relationships and “romantic” relationships are not superior to nonromantic friendships, and that equality means that a nonsexual and/or nonromantic friend has the same amount of access to love, intimacy, physical affection, support, etc.

Hierarchical relationships serve a practical purpose, they reduce cognitive burden, it’s difficult to not prioritise one person over the other.

Hmm atleast the authors does not think that individual relationships cant be prioritized over others. Like you would still choose with eho you prefer to do what, like living or going on vacations.

To me the author puts more weight on the rejection of classical relationship archetypes and their hierarchization
