Male. I know far fewer female pilots than male but of the female ones I can think of very few who aren't very very good.
But I know scores of male pilots whose arrogance, condescension and hubris constantly get them into scrapes.
It's numbers, of course so I can't make a meaningful comparison but perhaps a percentage comparison from accident stats based upon gender might prove revealing.
Personally, I would like to see more women in aviation. It will come but it's nowhere near close yet. I don't think it will be 50-50 unfortunately as the commercial realities of childbearing captains probably will not be ignored by those who employ them.
