Was there ever a more patently untrue meme? By every standard women are doing better than men today. They get better grades, graduate from high school and college at higher rates, and run the education system. Boys are treated as dangerous sociopaths or suffering from ADD for simply acting like boys. If anything there is a war on boys.
I’m a mother of daughters, and I agree with you completely. I really feel for parents of boys; there is zero support (on a cultural basis) for anything “traditionally male.”
