I’m pregnant and just found out I’ll be having a boy. I’m excited and terrified. It just hit me that I now have the responsibility to raise a boy that isn’t a menace to society. So I’ve switched up the goal of this list a bit. Now it’s what I’m reading to prepare myself to raise my son (and the ones he’ll read when it’s time) into an empathetic, kind, and loving man that sees women as full people.
