Has anyone got any good reading recommendations for men to learn about feminism?

I'm looking for something about calling out and recognising sexism, and how to amplify women's voices, as opposed to feminist theory.

Books would be good (maybe something we could read together and talk about), but also blogs and people to follow etc

Any ideas?

Not feminism or a female writer, but Robert Webb - How not to be a boy. It's not about feminism, but toxic masculinity, which might be a better starting point for a man.

It's not specifically about feminism but Invisible Women is a brilliant book and really eye opening

This is about gender bias, how men are seen as the default human, and how it affects women's health and safety.

There is a book and a podcast in this link;

In Robert Jensen’s new book, The End of Patriachy: Radical Feminism for Men, he asks one question: “What do we need to create and maintain stable, decent human communities that can remain in a sustainable relationship with the larger world?”
