If y’all didn’t check in, I hope she saved the live for y’all. It was a great discussion on toxic masculinity with a focus on the Black experience. Keep an eye out for other resources that @errdaisha will be posting on toxic masculinity!!

The Live reminded me of some great resources that I’d like to share, in addition to @errdaisha live:

•The Feminist on Cellblock Y is a really great documentary! https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2018/04/18/the-feminist-on-cellblock-y-doc-orig.cnn

Book Recommendations:
•”The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love” by bell hooks
•”Sex at Dawn” by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá (debunks heteronormative lifestyle enforced by patriarchy)

Monique Wittig is another great read. A Marxist feminist who co-founded the movement of women’s liberation in France. One of my favorite pieces of theirs as of yet is “One is Not Born a Woman”.

Here’s the link to @errdaisha live, y’all better check in!!
She recommends a ton of other great reads and videos to enhance our understanding of patriarchy and toxic masculinity! I’ll probably try to add that info to this thread later!
