Females are much less likely to suffer from hemophilia because it is a recessive X linked genetic disorder. Women, having the chromosomal configuration of XX would need both X chromosomes to carry the marker for hemophilia because it is a recessive gene. Whereas men, with the chromosomal configuration of Xy do not have a "backup" X chromosome so if their only X chromosome has the hemophiliac trait, then that man will be a hemophiliac.

Is hemophilia co dominant or dominant?

It is very much recessive with only one exception, which is that there is a large portion of women who simply carry the trait but dont actually have it. If you are to procreate with a female carrier than your chances of having a hemophiliac child are still not very high. You can find all the info you need by using a Punnett Square method to figure out the chances of hemophiliac children with 2 parents.
