Does anarchism just mean anti-oppression?

A lot of people seem to be just against all oppression of any kind? Is there anything more to anarchism or anarchy?

The anarchist's being anti-oppression is only a corollary of a "higher maxim". The anarchist is anti-oppression *because* he values immediated social relations of unique ones, etc. He simply is not a slave-moralist nay-sayer to oppression, but a master-moralist who affirms life and creates values, and anyone who oppresses it is his enemy. So to answer your question, anarchism is not just anti-oppression; it's pro-ego, pro-nothingness*, pro-immediation, pro-authenticity.
*I know this is a vague term, so lemme just clear that by "nothingness", I mean the spontaneity of the ego and hence the lack of essence.

"The anarchist" is not a man.

Sorry, what? Is that supposed to be a reference to Nietzsche's "man is a bridge between beast and the superman" thingy? In that case, my apologies, I should've emphasized it on my post. Otherwise, wth?

Uh, no. It is a reference to the fact that you have excluded half of humanity by your retrogressive sexist language.
