No. Rib cage of female and male are anatomically identical. Both male and female have 12 ribs. 8 true ribs that connects to the sternum by cartilage, 3 false ribs that connects to the last ribs and 2 floating ribs, that attached to the vertebra only. Some people have missing a pair of these and some people have extra's.
