That would be an interesting quantitative study for a qualitative aspect.
Your perspective is valid and worth considering. Whether one gender is "harsher" is indeterminable. Men may internalize their shortcomings differently and manifest the internalization differently.
If I'm not mistaken, men are more prone to depression that women, if that means anything.
The answer is probably a combination of subconscious guilt, culture, and self-awareness. It is difficult to judge the failings, really, of a gender which one is not. So male leaders rather go on the gender least understood by them, go soft for guilt and PR.
Oh well, I better go study my porn, I mean conduct internet research.
