Complete oppersite to the women who are actually doing it correctly but think they are doing it wrong.
Yes.

Ignoring flying for the moment, as I have had a grand total of one woman student pilot, but in the dojo it's noticeable that men who can't crack a technique usually try to deal with it through speed and force (and a certain amount of overconfidence), whilst women who can't crack a technique usually try to deal with it by thinking really hard, but may sometimes give up because they just don't believe in themselves.

So long as I can maintain their self-confidence, women are almost always easier to teach martial arts to.

That seems to match your opinion of teaching flying.
