My point is that black people didn't have implicit power and women did.
Further, all whites were preferably treated by the system.
That isn't true of men.

The article says boys are scoring lower in exams, not that they are being unfairly marked for equal work.
I did fine at school, despite being a boy.

You seem to be confusing anecdote with data again.

“Girls outperform boys in elementary school, middle school, high school, and college, and graduate school,” says Dr. Michael Thompson, a school psychologist who writes about the academic problems of boys in his book, "Raising Cain." He says that after decades of special attention, girls are soaring, while boys are stagnating.
“Girls are being told, 'Go for it, you can do it. Go for it, you can do it.' They are getting an immense amount of support,” he says. “Boys hear that the way to shine is athletically. And boys get a lot of mixed messages about what it means to be masculine and what it means to be a student. Does being a good student make you a real man? I don't think so… It is not cool.”
Sommers also accuses women teachers of favoring girls over boys. She says they reward classroom behavior that girls find easier, like sitting still, and punish boys for being, well, boys.
“If boys are obstreperous and high-spirited and competitive, which most of them are, this is seen as behavior which is not tolerated. They see that as an expression of a toxic masculinity,” she says.

Girls trying harder in school is a men's rights issue?
I think the only time women care is when their aren't enough boys on their "level".
another article on the issue“Girls outperform boys in elementary school, middle school, high school, and college, and graduate school,” says Dr. Michael Thompson, a school psychologist who writes about the academic problems of boys in his book, "Raising Cain."

One of the few women I respect, Christina Hoff Sommers, has a few things to say on the matter as well.Sommers also accuses women teachers of favoring girls over boys. She says they reward classroom behavior that girls find easier, like sitting still, and punish boys for being, well, boys.
“If boys are obstreperous and high-spirited and competitive, which most of them are, this is seen as behavior which is not tolerated. They see that as an expression of a toxic masculinity,” she says.
There's also the matter of boys having a lack of good role models. It doesn't help that a woman can throw the man out on a whim, for the most part, but since most teachers are women as well as the staff, well even if they're good teachers a lack of a good male role model can really fuck up young men.

Well, yes. If we assume a equal distribution of scholastic ability across the sexes then there must be a reason or reasons boys are less engaged at school.
The article gave one reason that would adequately explain it - the idea that some students are coming to the conclusion that school is not a viable option for their future.
If more male school-leavers are in low income jobs where education proved to be less of a factor, then education is a less attractive option.

Demonization of males in society, rampant sexism against their gender in schools, disparate impacts of policies, the destruction of positive male role models in culture.
Basically feminism.

The article about the study has a misleading title, but the article itself seems to be a 'study' of the grades that students believe they will be given - rather than a study of the actual bias in marking.
Nowhere does it show that the marked work was of equal standard.
Maybe you meant to link to a better source?

Male students tend to bet less [money] when assessed by a female teacher than by an external examiner or by a male teacher. This is consistent with female teachers' grading practices; female teachers give lower grades to male students
