I know, I know - it shouldn't matter as long as the boss is fair (as many other answerers pointed out). BUT, I have never found a male boss to be completely fair to female employees. Really!
Even if male bosses don't do anything overtly sexist....there's always a dominance issue. Most men in power positions talk down to women (usually inadvertantly) and don't show them the same respect or comradery as they do with male employees. I feel bad saying this, because I don't think most realize they're doing it! It's just something subconscious that women can be more easily dominated. Talk down to a woman and she'll cower more easily, right? Either that or she'll come across like a b-...you-know-what.
And for our part, most of us women to play it quiet and nice because we don't want to look like a raging b**** in the workplace. I consider myself a very strong woman, but when my male bosses have started talking down to me, I knew I was trapped into acquiescing. What can I do? Accuse them of what?
Now, when I work for women...the communication is much better. I find women to be much more reasonable bosses with realistic expectations, and milder tempers. Other women never call me "dear" or "hon". They don't talk to me like I'm a child. The women all treat me like a colleague and a professional. And they generally treat the men the same way.
Even in this modern day, there still is a difference.
Here's how I'd break down the different employment combinations:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Female working under a male boss - WORST
Male working under a female boss - AVERAGE
Male working under a male boss - BETTER
Female working under a female boss - BEST
(but hey, if it's a job, I'll work for a lemur! Work is good!)

As long as the person treats me and everyone else with fairness, regardless of job title, pay, perceived status, age, race, religion or creed.
My best friend now, was my boss.
Now I have my own business. I am the boss.
I am a 57 year old young lady. I treat all of my staff with care, because with no staff, there is NO business.
Even the front line receptionist is critical to the business. He or she can damage a business with unprofessional behavior.

When you end up with a bad boss of any gender, you have to decide whether to wait it out and hope the leave or take your experience and move on to something new.

But I'm a male. When it comes to women in the workplace, I do think they have it a lot harder than men. Women are extremely cruel to each other, specially when competing in the workplace, and if they have a woman as a boss than can get pretty uggly, pretty quick.
