I had no trace of Imposter Syndrome, so it's a bit satisfying that it's normal for guys not to have it.

I won't pretend that I'm not afraid of failure--there are plenty of things I don't do because of the threat of failure--but I've known that I was actually good at the things that I was good at, and never worried about being found out that I wasn't.

One can pretty directly draw direct lines from gender-normative society to the confidence/lack thereof dichotomy in the gender distribution of Imposter Syndrome, so I won't bore you further with such obvious conclusions.
