Normally and usually, neither. Both sides of both males and females will have 12 ribs on each side. The idea of males having one less originates from The Bible, and just isn't true.

'Course, some people might have had one removed due to injury. The smallest ribs are a popular source if a surgeon needs to do a bone graft for example. And some people are born with one (pair) extra, or one(pair) missing, but that's quite rare.
