I am old enough to remember when boys outperformed girls in the various levels of school. They complained that the learning styles used favored boys. They then changed them all to ones that favored girls, and then girls started doing better. (Limited physical activity, no competition, focusing on feelings instead of logic, etc)

Now? Well they don't want things to change but they can't deny the stats. The solution? Blame all males for being born inferior and useless. Each top level comment here does exactly that. "Maybe the problem with boys is that they are too much this or not enough that" and so on. As if there was a wave of cosmic rays that only caused damage to XY chromosomes or something.

So what they do is pretend they never made those changes. They pretend girls always did better in school when that is a relatively recent thing. The schools are designed and built for them.
