Gender Differences in Self-Estimated Intelligence: Exploring the Male Hubris, Female Humility Problem

Despite evidence from cognitive psychology that men and women are equal in measured intelligence, gender differences in self-estimated intelligence (SEI) are widely reported with males providing systematically higher estimates than females. This has been termed the male hubris, female humility effect. 

Despite what the NLM says, I experience a different reality in my day-to-day. I always see men beating themselves up and underestimating their ability to do something while the females (especially near my profession, e.g. nurses and other such staff) tend to think they literally know everything and are too smart to actually even hear that they’re wrong or are about to screw up. 
 Dunning Kreuger? 
 @owl. "equal in measured intelligence"

What?  Every graph I've seen of measured IQ has gender variability, with women clustered around the middle and men higher represented in the extremes of both ends.  

Are they doing some kind of statistical snoke screen about medians, or are they just pulling assertions out of their butt?
