Not at all. I focus on skills and qualifications, not gender. If someone's right for the team, that's what matters most

Nope, not at all because I can tell if they're gonna be a trouble by just a little conversation with them. Qualifications and the ability to produce results matters more to me anyway

Not really. We always embrace equality and I think a team will benefit for boths so not really.

No, I think it adds a fresh perspective to the team. As long as he as respectful of everyone then it should be fine.

This is a great question and I understand why you're asking it. It's natural to consider if the dynamics of your predominately female team would be affected negatively. Unlike others here, yes, I have been hesitant because of how the women on my teams have been.

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.
