It may not be as straight forward as you seem to think it is.

Girls are generally expected to be better behaved. This can be extremely suffocating and unhealthy.

If they are exposed to "troublemaker" boys and learn to have a little back bone and stand up for themselves (to possibly oppressive adults), it's still less socially acceptable for a girl than for a boy. So then she blames the "troublemaker" boy to cover for herself because he will get in less trouble than her and that's what the adults find plausible anyway.

It's entirely possible that even if she tried to accept the blame, the adults would interpret that as her trying to be kind to him and cover for him.
