The high level story is that men were doing better in society, so feminists tried to change that but they overcompensated which lead to boys starting to do worse. It should also be mentioned that young men are now doing worse than young women in the workplace. That's because this is a generational thing. When millenials are 50, then 50 year old men will do worse than 50 year old women. How specifically was this accomplished? Well many small actions were taken. So it's hard to pinpoint which one exactly it is. Women are favored both with explicit policies to favor them, as well as by being given more consideration when policies are designed ("How will this affect women"). Hence I don't think there is one big thing that needs fixing, rather it's many small things. And doing so will take a long time, decades possibly.
