"The Relentless War on Masculinity is a straight-talking, timely book that shines a light on how men and boys are often pushed aside in today's culture. It's clear, fair, and refreshingly honest, cutting through the noise to show what's really going on. Best of all, it points to a healthier way forward where men and women can work together and actually thrive. If you want a book that makes sense of the chaos and offers real hope, this is it."

"What distinguishes Maywald's approach from simple grievance is his focus on solutions: more male teachers, reformed family courts, equal health funding, boy-friendly school environments. He doesn't argue that women should lose ground - he argues both sexes are suffering from what he sees as an overcorrection... Not everyone will agree with Maywald's framing or his emphasis. But the underlying data about male educational outcomes, suicide rates, and family court disparities deserves attention regardless of one's political perspective. The men in my life need advocacy, support, and solutions - not ideology."

With a balanced and centrist approach, the book highlights systemic biases, cultural shifts, and the consequences of sidelining masculinity, while offering actionable solutions to rebuild healthier relationships between men and women. It is a compelling call to collaboration, advocating for mutual respect and shared progress to create a thriving, inclusive future for all."

"David Maywald's book on the war on masculinity highlights many of the issues currently facing boys and men. Maywald overviews the causes of this war, its effects on men and society, and how the war can be resolved. Maywald's conceptualization of the "four horsewomen" of modern feminism - misandry, gamma bias, gynocentrism, and gaslighting - is a particularly important contribution. To progress on boys' and men's issues, which Maywald believes is possible and indeed necessary for a healthy society, the "four horsewomen" of modern feminism must be acknowledged and addressed accordingly."

"David is a considerate, passionate and level-headed supporter of humanity, and in particular children and young or pre-adults. He has volunteered his time to help others and I have spent nearly four years working with him as a fellow volunteer charity board member. In particular, he has long been an advocate for boys, and has turned some of that advocacy into this book. While the book might not be for everyone, and some may find it controversial, I applaud David's efforts to promote inclusion for all, and as he says it is vital that "we listen and engage with all voices" as a society."
