@brembs I have observed this, or something quite similar, in other fields. I was a skilled tradesperson. A diemaker. My male coworkers tended to want to get credit for doing things, my female coworkers tended to not care so much about who got a pat on the back as long as the job got done. I could see this, and I'm a guy. I was ok with a supervisor thanking me, but that was never why I did what I did. Some of the guys were real glory hounds. Just one example, and my totally unscientific observation, but I think it's fairly representative

How very interesting! Looks like my female side is well-developed 😁

'Glory hound' - new word for me, love it!
