Having gone through this, you're way overstating the case.
Boys are not bullied out of STEM. They just don't have any incentives for it.
The most common refrain in my college was trying to keep women in STEM. They'd go into it, they'd do well, then they'd exit the program. Normally they either decided to do something else, went into a non-STEM industry, or got married (which was the least common one).
Despite every incentive in the world, including scholarships, mentoring programs, internships, women's organizations, women's science organizations, jobs programs, and employers seeking to explicitly hire women, most women would still end up not entering the STEM industry after graduation, or just pursuing something else.
You had just groups of high-energy particle physicists, quantum physicists, and experimental physicists looking at each other confused and wondering why in God's name they can't keep women in most of the programs, even when they weren't failing. (It's this very problem that DIE programs and organizations exploit, and how they get in)
As of 2014, I've not seen one male student bullied out of a physics program for being a guy. So it definitely hasn't been that way since the mid 90's.
Instead, there were 3 men that killed themselves, and that seems to have related to the pressure within the program and the lack of young men's abilities to cope with the stress; rather than sex discrimination.
