Looking for some suggestions for feminism theory and stuff on misogyny (hexbear.net)

Basically the title. I'm involved in a local leftist group that is organizing but the subject on misogyny was brought up because we've had some issues of men in the group talking over the women in the group or dismissing them. A comrade and I are trying to come up withe some texts for education to address this issue but we've both realized this is a blind spot in our theory knowledge. I suggested Caliban and the Witch and The Second Sex but after that I'm kind of drawing a blank.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated as always. Marxist and anarchist texts are both welcome.

Thanks!

I don't think Caliban and the Witch is what you're after. Very cool text but it's much more about transition from feudalism to capitalism than about misogyny

i've read some pretty harsh criticism of its historiography too. don't think it's considered as much of a goto recommendation as it used to be

That's sort of what we gathered. I think it's off the table as a rec for this subject at this point.
