About this listen

The Relentless War on Masculinity is a cultural, rhetorical, chemical, legal and institutional attack on all males. During the last seven decades it has resulted in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand moving from being societies characterised by equality (during the 1980s) to now being highly gynocentric.

Western countries have tilted against men and boys for decades—dismantling fatherhood, ignoring male disadvantage, and portraying masculinity as a problem to be fixed. The result is a crisis: falling education outcomes for boys, disengaged young men, rising mental health struggles, plummeting birth rates, and fractured relationships between men and women.

This audiobook shines a light on the causes of the crisis and offers a vision for how to rebuild. Combining clear analysis with heartfelt advocacy, David Maywald calls for a new social contract: one where boys are supported, men are respected, and both sexes work together to create a healthier future for us all...

This audiobook explores:

- How Anglo societies moved from equality to gynocentrism—and what that means for our families, schools, and communities.

- Why fatherhood, faith, and purpose remain essential foundations of human flourishing.

- The cultural, political, and institutional forces that have sidelined men.

- Practical solutions and reforms that can restore balance, rebuilding collaboration between men and women.

There are no winners from The Relentless War on Masculinity, but we can rebuild a much healthier society if men and women collaborate for our children. Inclusion demands that we listen to and engage with all voices—including males, White people and Christians.

As a society, will we choose combativeness or collaboration? Listen for a provocative, hopeful and urgent call to action. This audiobook is for everyone who believes that when men and boys thrive, society also flourishes.
