what is the deal? is there some political notion intrinsic in manifesta? is it resisting manifesto? moving beyond? what about anarcho-feminist vs. anarcha-feminism? what is the difference? i know none of this matters, i was just curious if anyone knows.

It probably derives from a unilingual anglophone misunderstanding of words of Latin and Greek origins. I do like the word "manifesta" though - combining the manifesto and "festa" - celebration.
Anarchiste, anarchista etc is the same for men and women in all the neo-Latin languages I know. Alas I'm unfamiliar with the original Greek.

Manifesta sounds like "manic fiesta" to me.

I'm thinking "list' or "document." I know I know, that was an insult to the entire back row.
