Maybe someone in your field would know, is there any difference in the actual reliability/reproducibility difference in research done by men and women? Maybe you are simply measuring a real phenomenon but in a round about way?

The OP mention it is the same text which is rated differently depending on the gender of the author.

This was one of the few factors we kept the same- same text.

I think if it had been a larger study (not a one credit class run by 4 undergrads but an actual study with funding) we might have had multiple texts and randomized them, but we had one text- I don't even remember what the topic was.
