Answer
I don't want to be sexist, in either direction, but I think that there is a difference. Females are more modest and more likely to have low self esteem, while males are more confident and more likely to have too much self-esteem, turning them into a show-off. Of course, this is just in general. There are tons of exceptions.
Heres my question: Are the reasons for this psychological or sociological? I'm sure part of this is caused by an evolutionary difference in the nature of men and women, but how much of this is just a social issue? Do men today just try to "act tough" so that they will be socially accepted, or do they do this for more instinctive reasons? Of course, it is a bit of both, but how much of each? I would be interested to hear what other people have to say.
This could turn into an interesting debate.

Women and men have different self-esteem functions because they have different issues in life.
