This doesn't surprise me, boys are also more likely to end up with an ADHD diagnosis and get drugged for the same reason - young boys are less likely to be able handle being stuffed into a desk for 7 hours, and get punished for the behavioral issues that result from this, or drugged into compliance

Corrrect, and the same bias allows them to still believe that the girls are being discriminated against. Even in the face of hard evidence proving the opposite.
