[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]be more specific. what kind of problems exactly do you have? [/quote]

Op here. I can't really say what exactly the problems are. It just happen to be in my past 15+ years of working experiences, I just happen to click more with all male supervisors/VP/director. They are nice to me and they are more patience and caring about me in company and personal life. By the way, I am not attractive and I am married with kids.

I notice about the same things when I was in college years working part time back then. I think male supervisors are nice to me overall. I think some women supervisor may find me intimidating or boring or weirdo and just they don't care about me much at professional level or my personal life outside of work. I have tried to be more fun and chat to them once in a while, but it is so hard to build relationship with them. For men, they are more straight forward and seem to be more open minded. We could sometimes talk about things that we can laugh out loud. I think in the early years of my career, even though I am not attractive but somehow I am kind of the person that seem to get a bit favoritism/protectionism from male supervisors even though I have done nothing.

One thing to consider is that your female supervisor likely would get more blame for your mistakes than your male supervisors, because sexism is still a thing.   The female supervisors may not have the luxury of being as patient or giving you as many accommodations as a result. [/quote]
