Anti misogyny book for 14 YO DS

I'm looking for book(s) suitable for my 14 year old DS to read to help him understand why Andrew Tate and other misogynists are so WRONG! Made him read the Sunday Times article last weekend. Are there any helpful books out there aimed at teenagers?

Unfortunately I dont know of any good books for this but I would advise you not to give him an extreme feminist type book that would make him feel bad for being a male as this would more likely push him further in the opposite direction. I'd recommend having discussions with him and making him think logically about it, it will probably be a phase that he will grow out of xx

Yes, totally agree - we don't want to push an extreme feminist view and we did talk to him after he'd read the article but we want to carry on discussing it and other articles or books might be another way of continuing the debate...

I wish there were! I can think of several teenage boys of my acquaintance who would benefit and that's just one school.

If any commissioning editors are out there...
