Starting in high school, women report much lower initial bravery and confidence scores than men. 

Riverdale female advisors reported initial bravery scores 14% lower than male advisors, and initial confidence scores 7% lower than male advisors. We see this same split in high school data.

17% of you reported feeling LESS confident than your peers. Among that group, you reported 
          37% increase in bravery
          29% increase in confidence

We see the same thing in high school students. Those who start the lowest, close the gap during the session.

This measure is highly gender-specific for high schoolers.
