Would you prefer a male or female supervisor?

For me, I think female. But both my parents prefer male supervisors.

I only have like 1 working experience at CS and I had a female supervisor. I think we did get along pretty well. She would occasionally ask me which university I would like to go, about my parents and stuff. My colleagues were also female and we had a fun time together, gossiping and stuff. For me, I feel like I would be more willing to ask more questions if my supervisor was a female.

My parents feel that a male supervisor would be more 随便. It might be true... What do you think?

I feel like I can't talk much on this topic because I don't want to blog about work or any of my opinions regarding it.

Everyone has preconceived notions of gender which that might predispose us to be biased. I guess I should just keep an open mind regarding this. And who knows, there might be surprises!
