Hang on, what? So, interacting with boys in kindergarten (literal children!) made her hate all men for life, but interacting with girls in middle school and seeing how messed up they are in the head... had no effect on how she sees girls??

Mangaka-sensei, make that make sense!
Kindergarten is the age where the most petty of trauma are know to occur so it makes sense

Also, girls are good at hiding that toxic side, especially to their friends

Childhood trauma tends to be the one that sticks with us the most, for better or for worse, which is something I can comprehend because of my own experiences. That said, I'll also say in the same sentence that by this point she's old enough to at the very least have a talk about preconceived biases that may or may not be universally applicable (in this case, clumping together in a negative way what effectively amounts to half of the world's population).

This fits with the theme of the manga though. Tomo's been trying to be cooler than Ibuki this entire time, but Ibuki and his sister have known all along he was already cool. As a post confession revelation this merely adds to his cool factor in a way that probably would have changed the plot earlier, but is a sweetner to a coupled Tomo.

As others have said, the relative ages can have a big effect, but let's not discount the fact the she's a woman herself. Men will have an element of "otherness" that wouldn't apply to women, especially in a culture where traditional gender roles are given so much importance like Japan.

So then the reason why Fuuka started acting so cold towards Tomo in middle school was her attempting to 'get over him' due to shame and fear of being ostrasized by her friends?

Incredibly unrealistic and unhealthy, this person's obsession with her brother is causing problems in her relationships at school but were supposed to pretend there's nothing wrong with it so the plot can be lighthearted. The sister is cute though so eh whatever
