    -- “Am I treating women with the same respect and consideration that I would treat a male team member?”

    -- "Do I make assumptions that my women classmates or team members or co-workers might not be as skilled or might be differently skilled that the males?"

Only when I really take a disliking to someone.

    -- “Am I assuming too many leadership roles without giving others a chance?”

    -- "Do I prefer men in the group to lead the projects?"

I refuse to take leadership roles, and think much less of anyone who does. There is something inherently untrustworthy to me about choosing to direct rather than do, and I find it hard to respect anyone who makes a habit of it or takes a position where it's a permanent thing.
