I have to be very careful as I write this because we live in incredibly 'woke' times and gender inequality is a thing for many societies.

I personally never really thought gender inequality is a thing because I believe where you are in your career is highly dependent on the effort you fork out to attain said accomplishments. In fact, all my working life, I've generally preferred working with female bosses because as a guy, I prefer the nurturing style of leadership and mentorship. However, my current job predisposes to me a female boss who tends to be very temperamental and she nitpicks things everyday to the point that I am now considering seeking HR for support.

Before I reached out to HR for support, I have spoken to a lot of friends about my situation, and many always return with the same sentiment, "Female bosses always PMS."

Even though I've heard of the saying all the time, I think it was only recently I find myself subscribing to mindset that female bosses are difficult to handle. I've had great female bosses in the past, but these female bosses generally leave their company or hold very senior positions at best, i.e. Manager.

So I'm wondering if everyone else actually thinks female bosses are tricky to work with.

Hahahahaha this kind of gender stereotype again? If you've had no issue working with female bosses in the past and only say, this 1 is temperamental, then it's her personality that's the problem. If you say you've worked with, for example, 10 female bosses and more than 50% are temperamental, then forming this kind of bias or opinion (due to your personal experience) isn't unreasonable.

Observation based on my own encounter - I find that if a person is meticulous and demanding, they're less tolerant to error. So all in all, it drills down to a person's personality imho, because I've worked with temperamental male bosses as well (both married and bachelors). Thus, it all depends on your luck when you meet your future superior.
