• Feminism Is for Everybody: Passionate Politics by bell hooks
• Cassandra Speaks by Elizabeth Lesser
• Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit
• Healing the Sacred Divide: Making Peace with Ourselves, Each Other, and the World by Jean Benedict Raffa

Other than that, I can also recommend you two great youtube channel that speaks about gender a lot:

• The Diamond Net from @Emerald https://www.youtube.com/@TheDiamondNet (look for the videos on spiral dynamic and the divine feminine, anima/animus integration and everything that has to do with archetypes)
• Contrapints https://www.youtube.com/@ContraPoints (her videos about men, incels and Jordan Peterson might be interesting starting point)

I have already read the first book, The Will to Change, and it blew my mind a few times. bell hooks details so well some of the problems that we men face, it seems unbelievable that a woman could know them so well. If all feminists had the same compassion for men, didn’t demonize us, and understood that patriarchy is a structural problem created not only by evil men but also by women, many more men would feel comfortable joining feminist movement. I’ve combined reading this book with interviews with influential feminists, and some of them try to marginalize and demonize men. They are probably a minority, but they have greater representation in the media because they generate more polarizing content.
