To be honest, has anyone found that working for a male supervisor is much easier than working for a female supervisor? It’s just me?

It’s not just you. It’s been my experience as well, particularly with white female supervisors.

As a female, I've generally found it easier to work for males vs. other females (with a couple of exceptions).

Interesting!

It depends on a lot of factors, or so is my experience. I’ve always had female supervisors. My previous supervisor was demeaning and unethical, and she did absolutely nothing. She’d take naps in the middle of the work day and blamed us (support staff) for delays in getting pleadings filed, contact clients, etc. My current supervisor is an angel. She’s understanding, does her job properly and on time, and she treats everyone with the utmost respect and courtesy. We’d chat for hours long during the day, and supervision calls are always fun and we both look forward to them.

Yes and I think it’s because men (especially white men) tend not to feel like they have as much to prove. Also generally, it’s always hard for me to work under someone that needs to overcompensate, not that all women feel that need. It’s just an effect of a market that undervalues women.

I feel like women definitely suffer from ‘scatter brain’ more and getting stressy.

It can be used live in a meet and on an independent virtual day. In my google meets, I’m able to give feedback on any question they have trouble with in real time.
