"despite the fact that boys are members of a nonstigmatized, high-status gender group that is substantially advantaged in society"

Clearly this assumption is untrue, boys are considered to be less capable from a very young age as this study proves. Not to mention all the other messages they see in the media which support this view especially in advertising and sitcoms that portray adult men as being stupid and women as perfect and smart. Misandry is everywhere and its no suprise our children are learning this from an early age. Males are stigmatized more so than women because its acceptable to do so in todays society which is obcessed with women's issues and protecting the rights of women and providing opprotunities for women and empowering women at the expense of everyone else. Its no surprise boys underachieve when girls and women get all the support and encouragement. Women and girls are the are members of a nonstigmatized, high-status gender group that is substantially advantaged in society not boys. Its unquestioned assumptions like this which has led to this problem in the first place. Boys and men are very disadvanted but their problems are never addressed. Men are not organized as a group like women are and have no one to lobby for causes that affect them. Men do all of the dirtiest, most strenuous, dangerous jobs that women seem to think are below them, an obvious indidcation that women are in fact the most advantaged group. Men are also are sent to wars to die, commit suicide at higher rates and have shorter life expectancy than women. Men are the expendable gender alotted all the jobs women dont want to perform.
