Many things are now discriminatory against boys in today's feminised world. Some mothers are not pleased, and rightly so. Instead of a fair and free system the pendulum has swung too far one way.
The taking away of male spaces seems to have been a reaction to the fact that men have held power in society since forever, and also over concerns that male only groups have helped foster disrespect and violence towards women. While the issue of violence is real, the harsh biological reality is that in nature men are expected to fight and die for the tribe against wild animals and other men. If men are too weak then the women will become victims, with the entire group facing extinction.
Another part of the issue of men holding power is the idea that if women were in charge then things would be better. But going by studies into women's psychology, and their emotion-based outlook, a change in leadership would bring about new sets of problems and disasters.
Building a society on equity and inclusion, over merit and discernment, and sidelining ideas of security for compassion, is an exceedingly bad idea in a dangerous and violent world. This is what's happening today.
When it comes to areas where competent decision making is needed, made by the best candidate (male or female), or where physical strength is required, the promotion of individuals based on a gender quota, rather than merit, can result in disastrous outcomes. Being unfair to people in some instances, when it comes to certain roles or professions, is necessary. Not everyone is the same, or has the same level of capability, as much as some people would like this to be true.
In reality there are problems with the psychological dispositions of both men and women that bring both good and bad things to the table. A sensible balance is needed, that necessarily skews towards the Enlightenment Principles of logic and reason. The present situation, where male spaces are heavily undermined, and their intrinsic value frowned upon, is a symptom of a society that's given way to ideas that don't work in the real world.
