Ribs do not have a gender. Everyone, regardless of their gender, has 12 ribs. However, women's ribs are about 10% smaller in volume on average than men's ribs.
This misconception likely stems from the biblical story of Eve being created from Adam's rib. It's important to remember that this is a religious myth, not a scientific fact.
