Actually these are issues that have been known for ten years and longer and there have been attempts to actively deal with them as well.
The problem is that girls typically do better in traditional learning environments than boys, who benefit from a more active, hands on learning style. Most of it comes down to cost really. More outdoor activity, more excursions and more experiments and equitment require more funding and personnel. And while that is something that would really benefit the entire student body, the funding often just isn't there.

Also kids need environments where they can be unsupervised, or at least feel like they are, to gain independence, wich is a thing that is getting more and more difficult to provide in an increasingly micromanaged, connected and supervised world.

All of these factors are very detremental to all kids really, but tend to hit boys harder.

Instead of moaning about feminists, how about you actively try to better your surroundings? Go learn something about pedagogics, volunteer at your local school or after school program, start a local campaign for more funding for schools or literally anything other than utilizing a legitimate issue to take a dig at people you happen to dislike.
