While I don't doubt that bullying is tolerated in a lot of schools in the US, my son was recently physically bullied and the administration was very quick in setting up opportunities for natural intervention (doing so in a way that didn't single him out even further as weak or a snitch). In addition, your statement that girls are being treated as expendable to promote male outcomes flies in the face of the clear evidence that the current US educational system favors girls over boys -- heavily by 8th grade (https://ed.stanford.edu/news/new-stanford-education-study-shows-where-boys-and-girls-do-better-math-english https://ed.stanford.edu/news/new-stanford-education-study-sh...). _Why_ this is happening is not super clear, but the current system is certainly not throwing girls under the bus to improve outcomes for boys.
