Girls are doing great, which is great! However boys are not doing so well. To add insult to injury, they are still blamed for what we (the rest of men through history) did.

There has been an extension of sexism over the past few decades, where ever increasing swaths of people find it socially acceptable to treat a large cohort of the population as a uniform evil to be mitigated.
And it is not limited to a few loud voices in extremist online communities. You will find it percolating onto real-life policies as well.
We have gotten to the point where trying to address problems that primarily affect certain cohorts has become taboo because it clashes with the commonly-accepted narrative that they are a privileged group, regardless of what any data shows.
