I support you in your fight against toxic masculinity, and in your exploration and expression of an authentic masculinity.
I reject second-wave feminism blaming each individual man/masc-aligned person for the consequences of patriarchy, thus obscuring its systemic nature while denying us effective weapons to combat it.
I’m proud of you for the work you’ve already done on yourselves and in your communities. Each and every one of you has what it takes to overcome reactionary impulses, to love yourselves and your comrades, and to be a part of our inevitable global communism.
I salute you, masc-aligned comrades.
I salute you, men of the left.
Trying to de-program can be tough. Thanks for noticing!
I recommend every man here who is a comrade to check out bell hooks The Will to Change: it is very good and written for men. And not too long either. Very digestible. I need to go re-read it again actually.

Do you have a PDF link for that by chance?
This should work
This is really good, thanks for posting!
Only made it through 1.5 chapters so far, but the critique laid out of what I'll call zero-sum feminism is helpful.
No sorry. It’s cheap to buy a used copy though
