If there are more failure modes for being female than male, it's worth noting that the target a girl would be trying to hit with expectation management is a lot smaller.
If social expectations are for women to be expectation-managers more than men ... possibly related?
I don't think smaller vs. bigger makes sense - basically incommeasurable in terms of size. In terms of being comparable, off the top of my head I'd that that girls are expected to refrain more, while boys are expected to achieve more. It's more stultifying to have to refrain, but in one sense easier, since it is a matter of will and not talent. From the judgment of their parents, girls may be considered rule violators, but they aren't subject to failure as much as boys are.
