Looking for some suggestions for feminism theory and stuff on misogyny (hexbear.net)

Basically the title. I'm involved in a local leftist group that is organizing but the subject on misogyny was brought up because we've had some issues of men in the group talking over the women in the group or dismissing them. A comrade and I are trying to come up withe some texts for education to address this issue but we've both realized this is a blind spot in our theory knowledge. I suggested Caliban and the Witch and The Second Sex but after that I'm kind of drawing a blank.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated as always. Marxist and anarchist texts are both welcome.

Thanks!

Haven’t heard about that

Just make them read some Leslie Feinberg afterward to even them out. Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue is probably hir most accessible work.

e: updated to an actually free copy of the text, even though the formatting sucks

I have my own issues with feinberg lol

Make them read both hooks and Feinberg, then any bear of a man, six-three in his barefeet, 215 pound in his underwear granite-faced types in the group can read True Allegiance together.
