The term dominant is a misnomer here as the trait is not dominant or the number of women with the trait would be much higher. Pattern baldness is a sex-linked trait.
Male pattern baldness alleles are present on the X chromosome which means that only one copy of the allele is required for a male to exhibit the trait (the y chromosome, being much smaller, doesn't have the gene locus for this trait).
Females must have 2 alleles for the characteristic in order to exhibit the the trait.

Why is pattern baldness more common in men than in women?
pattern baldness is an X-linked recessive gene. Since men only have one X chromosome (XY) and females have two X chromosomes (XX) it is easier for men to no posses the dominant trait that prevents pattern baldness.
Why is baldness more common in males than females?
Baldness is more common in males than females because of genetic factors. The main gene responsible for male pattern baldness is located on the X chromosome, which males inherit from their mothers. This genetic predisposition makes males more likely to experience hair loss compared to females.
Why is hair falling out in males more vigorous than in females?
Genetics and testosterone levels are correlated with male pattern baldness.

Is any type of fingerprint more dominant in male or female?

Fingerprint patterns, such as loops, whorls, and arches, are determined genetically and are not correlated with gender. Both males and females exhibit a wide range of fingerprint patterns.

Is baldness a sex-limited or a sex linked trait?
Baldness is not a sex-limited trait because both men and women can experience it. It is considered a sex-influenced trait because it is influenced by sex hormones but not exclusively linked to a specific sex chromosome.
