Some studies have been done on the success of women versus men in anonymous crowdsourcing.  Check out "Ethan Mollick on the Gender Gap in Entrepreneurship" as well as a paper he coauthored titled, “Humility and Hubris: Gender Differences in Serial Founding Rates”.   One idea he puts forward is that men can have an almost irrational overconfidence ("hubris") and typically view failure as outside of themselves, meaning they will go back over and over to try new ideas.   Women can tend to view their idea's failure more personally and consequently will try less often.  His focus is specifically on entrepreneurship and not on technology specifically but it does deal with this concept of anonymity through crowdsourcing and how that can inform the discussion.
