手动设置组合框项目时，如何使用mvvm中的绑定在wpf中设置组合框默认值

我在WPF中使用mvvm。我正在设置一个表单来更新用户数据。我有一个组合框可以选择用户性别。我已经在源中手动添加了组合框项目。加载数据以形成所有字段时，其他字段将正确显示。但组合框未显示任何内容。我使用了twoWay绑定，并且我从表单中选择的值都进入了viewModel。我一直在搜索数小时，发现了许多类似的问题，但对我没有任何帮助。我在下面插入我的代码段。请给我一个解决方案。

<ComboBox 
    Grid.Column="2" 
    SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedEmployees.gender, Mode=TwoWay}" 
    SelectedValue="{Binding SelectedEmployees.gender, Mode=TwoWay}"
    >
    <ComboBoxItem Content="Male"/>
    <ComboBoxItem Content="Female"/>
</ComboBox> 

我的viewModel代码如下

class EmployeesModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
    private iServiceClient serviceClient = new iServiceClient();
    public EmployeesModel()
    {
        this.RefreshEmployees();
    }

    private void RefreshEmployees()
    {
        this.serviceClient.GetAllEmployeesCompleted += (s, e) =>
          {
              this.employees = e.Result;
          };

        this.serviceClient.GetAllEmployeesAsync();
    }

    private IEnumerable<Employee> employees;
    public IEnumerable<Employee> Employees
    {
        get
        {
            return this.employees;
        }
        set
        {
            this.employees = value;
            this.OnPropertyChanged("Employees");
        }
    }

    private Employee selectedEmployees;
    public Employee SelectedEmployees
    {
        get
        {
            return this.selectedEmployees;
        }
        set
        {
            this.selectedEmployees = value;
            this.OnPropertyChanged("SelectedEmployees");
        }
    }

    public void OnPropertyChanged(string PropertyName)
    {
        if (this.PropertyChanged != null)
        {
            this.PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(PropertyName));
        }
    }

}

并且SelectedEmployees类是

public class Employee
{
    [Key]
    public int id { get; set; }
    public DateTime JoiningDate { get; set; }
    public string name { get; set; }
    public string gender { get; set; }
    public string mobile { get; set; }
    public string post { get; set; }
    public string salaryType { get; set; }
    public decimal salary { get; set; }
    public string docname { get; set; }
    public int validit { get; set; }
}
