If boys won and went with "guy power!" they would simply be accused of being sexist or even misogynist rather than fair-minded, or intrinsically motivated.

Yes. First thing that popped into my head when I read that too.

That sort of cheer doesn't make any sense, though. Guys aren't usually the losers of science fairs.

If boys won a limbo contest they may say that. And likewise, women probably aren't likely to say such a thing at a limbo contest.
