The same happens in business too. Women tend to make more reasonable and actionable goals while a lot of men (not all, but a decent chunk) set unrealistic goals.
A woman who owns a bakery might set a goal of increasing customer's average basket by 5-10% within a year, while a man would want to double output within 5 or something...
I witnessed this myself at my last job. The drone department director I worked with sometimes wanted to increase the number of pilots under him by a factor of 20X in a year and increase billable hours by 50% for each of them... Truly looney toones shit. We added one person and billable hours got spread among them instead due to a slump with clients...
Turns out clients can just, yaknow buy their own fucking drone and license their own employee
