I have worked for both - the good and bad men and women. Given the choice, I would take a man over a woman. What I didn't care about working for women was that I wasn't paid to be their "friend" nor was I interested in their personal life which they thought they needed to share. That's what a hair stylist is for.

I have to admit female bosses do talk more about their personal lives but women do this in general. As a woman, I prefer a female boss. You know where you stand with her. If a woman is sharing details about her personal life, you're in good shape. I can never read men. I got a glowing PR just before I was terminated from my engineering job. Go figure. I would have seen it coming with a woman. She would have pulled back as soon as that decision was made. I had no idea with my male boss. I had no idea until the actual day I was let go.

Yeah, I guess women are more open. I remember when I worked for a female attorney (just out of college) and she told me she would have me fired, see me on the street and make sure I didn't get another job and there was nothing I could do and there was nothing HR could do to her because she was black. I took that threat to HR and they addressed it. They moved her to another location in the firm and found her a job with a client (I guess they didn't care if they lost the business - she was well worth getting rid of). Working in a law firm gives you the opportunity to move around within the firm and you generally know the reputations of lawyers. But she was unknown, but known very quickly!!!!
I was a social person, but not a friendly person, when I worked. I got along with people, but not involved. My attitude was that I was getting paid to do a job, not to make friends. Apparently it's an unusual position for one to take because I was called into HR on three occasions over a 9 year period when co-workers complained about me not being "friendly". Go figure.

why do most females complain about their female bosses and prefer to work for men?
According to whom? Your own anecdotal evidence?
