It's not a mystery to me. If I want to excel at my job, I have to be willing to tell my boss he's full of shit and then elbow someone else out of line to get my idea implemented. This is not what I practiced in school for all that time and it's not what I get rewarded for in the rest of my life.
Men get the "benefit" of bimodal outcomes, in that they're disproportionately represented in the highest-paying jobs and in prison. Women get the steady middle, doing what needs to be done but less big risk/big reward. I'm dissatisfied with it on both sides. A system in which 'overactive' boys (or kids more generally) are not served well is not good, and a system that optimizes for the wrong outcome for 'good' girls is not good. It's clearly not doing that well for America given our susceptibility to mis- and disinformation and our need to import skills rather than effectively developing talent here.
