I don't have too much experience but I have been instructing for past 3 years. We've had many female students in our school and IMHO I saw one thing common with all the female students. They were all perfectionists. Nothing wrong in improving yourself and seek perfection but in aviation everything is fluid. No two landings are same, no two approaches are same but they all wanted greaser landings everytime. They all wanted to do the maneuvers better then last time. Again nothing wrong with it as long as it doesnt become a hurdle.
As for guys, I guess we go there with a big ego. Even if we have hard landing, just to nurse our ego, we would say it was a safe one.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter whether you are male or female they all make good pilots. It all depends on the individual's capabilities rather than their sex.
We have one female instructor working out of seven and I wish we had more cuz she is a great instructor
