Maori and Pasifika boys make for great victims in the Oppression Olympics. There is a strong risk that you get programmes that are targeted specifically to them (to the neglect of boys as a wider class interest) but the bleeding hearts have never been unhappy with too few interventions.
Of course, if you're trying to defeat feminist capture of policymaking by exploiting intersectionalism you simultaneously risk offending the delicate sensibilities of the wealth classes and getting no-where. So the obvious solution is to propose a policy which nominally accomplishes the original intention whilst simultaneously making everything nice for Karen's darling little Georgia...
tl;dr -- this is how you end up with fees free as a flagship education policy
But to continue with the cynical hat... I'm not sure what one would actually do to fix this, anyway.
It's pretty simple. Rally people to be hostile to feminists and women who support those policies and the status quo, damage their allies who hold them up until they disown them. (Through boycotting businesses and so on.). Make feminists pariahs and make them political suicide to be associated with.
They're already deeply unpopular, it's just they have captured institutions. Take the institutions back and tell dear little Karen she can go fuck herself. Begin purging academia and cracking down on social media.
Yes, but what would actually fix the education gap?
