Are you saying non males don't have confidence and can't fake it until they make it?

I think they may be referencing a confidence gap[1]. 'Fake until you make it' seems like it's referring to imposters syndrome[2]. I haven't found any evidence that it's more prevalent in women than men. Anecdotally women's credentials & skills in tech are often more scrutinized than men which makes 'faking it' seem less possible.
