@lukesreads: Three phenomenal books to understand patriarchy, male entitlement and privilege, power structures, social conditioning, and peer expectations. 1. The Will to Change - bell hooks 2. Boy Mom - Ruth Whippman 3. Real Men On Top - Robin Dembroff The first step to change is awareness. Once you know better you can do better. #BookTok #reading #BookRecommendations #patriarchy
Genuinely interested in this. Side note- You are my pick to play Carl in the Dungeon Crawler Carl show. I know you’re Australian and not an actor but, you are Carl in my head.

Lauriene Trijntje :
I would say Know My Name by Chanel Miller is also one for the list, it’s a memoir by the survivor of the Stanford sa case

I almost never opened "The Hidden Truth About Reality" by Adam West and honestly that thought alone stresses me out now.

Thanks Luke, for all the men who think it’s not manly to read a book, these are all available on Audiobooks. You just have to listen.

LizIsTooOldForThisShit :
thank you for these recommendations (from a UK therapist working with sexual violence survivors). may I also recommend Laura Bates' books, such as everyday sexism, men who hate women, and the new age of sexism. they're particularly powerful and interesting. I appreciate your efforts in this field :)

Fix the system not the women by Laura Bates, invisible women by Caroline Perez, there will be many more and listen to the audio books and talk to other men about the books!

‘I don’t want to talk about it’ by Terrence Real is also a must read. Especially if we are to undo all of this from the roots 🙏 it’s about the way depression is presented in males and their behaviour because of it. Need the insight to tackle the problem from the root cause.

Change starts with big cases that are popular because they start important conversations. They give a time and place for men and women to show their stance on important issues. This is the time to rally and get support. I don’t know if you’ve seen but so many women and men have been speaking up about their own cases at the moment too. This one case has opened a platform of outrage and support which men should join too. It isn’t ALL men so where are the good ones who are against this violence?? SPEAK UP!!!

How do you get a man to see the inequality and violence against women? How do you get a man to be angry for his wife,mother, sister, his wife’s sisters, nieces, etc. what if they don’t care
