Morphology
manarchist + belief
The compound contains a nonstandard coinage 'manarchist' (not in dictionaries) so a B1 learner can only partially parse it: 'man' signals something to do with males and 'belief' signals an ideological stance, giving a general clue. However, the precise sense—an ideology advocating male dominance rather than simply a male anarchist or another, more literal reading—is not fully predictable without cultural/political knowledge, so it is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Manarchist belief comes from joining man and anarchist, creating a picture of someone who rejects rules to keep men in charge. So it names the idea of putting 'men's interests first' or 'male dominance'.
