Depends on the platform. On PC and Nintendo the female population is larger. On the 360/PS3 its definitely dominated by men.
As for genders I'll play as both but its more compelling if the female playing the role is believable, but as a male when I am gaming as games have become experiences I like to feel like I am in the game. I cannot do this with a female character becuse i cannot relate. Sometimes in a game like the Last of Us I enjoy playing as a genuine female character who is as badass as the creator intends.
