this sounds like something you're making up right now. i can make something up that gives the opposite impression: it is implicit in our culture that the cost to women of failure is higher than to men.
or, i could say, anyone is more likely to give up something more quickly if they believe they "aren't the sort of person" who does that thing; if they don't fit the model that has been given to them by the surrounding culture of what that thing is. men are more likely to quit pursuing a career in early childhood education at the first rejection; women are more likely to abandon their ambitions of working in tech.
or, even just riffing off yours, i could say men are taught that their value comes from their accomplishments, and women are taught that their value doesn't come from their accomplishments. or even that ambitions and accomplishment carries a degree of cost. actually, i think we're seeing some of this playing out in the u.s. election.

but i'm just making things up on the spot...
