Education for men to make women feel comfortable

I’m in an organization and my leadership is all men. They seem to mean well but don’t have a good understanding of how to make women feel comfortable especially in social settings.

Some of them do innately, but some of them don’t and the ones that do, don’t call out the ones that don’t. I’m trying to figure out how to explain how to accommodate for trauma caused by the patriarchy within communication. Like validation, direct communication, less implications or jokes especially if you’re alone, and being more aware of body language.

Google has been extremely sexist like “you have to be gentle with women because they come from emotion” Or is like tips on how to talk to girls to date them.

I have a lot of trauma and I am more sensitive in that area, but I feel like there’s a lot of people who feel similarly and it would be better for everyone if communication was more accommodating? Like I don’t see a downside for people not traumatized by the patriarchy?

Does anyone have books, tips, skills, workshops, or anything that I could use as resources to better explain like the importance of compassionate communication for like traumatized people, specifically women who have been societally groomed, not to speak up for themselves or who have fawn responses?

*I’m using super gendered terms but meaning based on relationship to patriarchy/abuse/assault/trauma
