It is "textbook correct" that only women use わ. However, it has changed as a result of Kansai influence on the Kanto region over the past few decades I think. You will hear men say わ now, but I'd counsel against it unless you know what you're doing. I don't ever use わ for that reason—I don't feel confident enough in my understanding of when to use it as a male!
