> Women would say things like "I worked on a team that did X," while men -- who obviously did the same kind of work -- would simply say "I did X."
While this anecdote seems to match traditional gender narratives, I'm interested in how you knew the men "obviously did the same kind of work."
You observed that women were more likely than men to emphasize teamwork and not their individual contributions. It seems that there are two hypotheses which result from that:
1. Women are more likely to emphasize team aspects and de-emphasize their contribution (less narcissistic)
2. Women are less likely to individual contribute and more likely to rely on teams for projects (less independent)

How did you differentiate between those two?
