Why not worry about boys as well? The message that everyone hates boys and men is far more pervasive than the message that everyone hates women. That masculinity is toxic consistent explicit message in a lot of academia - we're not talking about a slow drip of subtle memes.
Has anyone done research on how people rate actual--not theoretical--women? Do they rate actual women in the world as wonderful, or just "ideal" women? Do they think women are wonderful when they are, e.g., seeking power? When women are demanding the right to an abortion? The "women are wonderful" research seems to suffer from many of the same problems as the IAT. How do these ideations translate into the actual treatment of actual women?

Yep, we should worry about boys and men as well - and about other issues facing girls and women. A brief blog post can't be about everything!
