Holiday season slowed down progress again, but the series is finally back, in time for the New Year!
The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love is a book by bell hooks about men, patriarchy, the relationship between them, and most importantly love. There is no need to pick up a copy, comrade Sen has already uploaded the entire audiobook onto Youtube. Content warnings are generously provided by Sen at the start of each chapter, however, they may not be as extensive as one might provide on here. This time we are doing Chapter 5, on male sexuality, which I am rather excited for.

He's 'ight, I think, but he does bad things every now and then, like his near-total silence on the Israel/Palestine situation.
