I have 3 fields on visualforce page of custom object,
1) gender__c:Male/female(picklist field) 2) age__c: (number field) 3) field3__c:(picklist field)

Here is the working code - 
Apex Controller Extension
public class EmployeeExtension {
    public EmployeeExtension( ApexPages.StandardController controller ) {
        
    }
    
    @RemoteAction
    public static Integer calculateAge( String dateOfBirth ) {
        Date dob = Date.parse( dateOfBirth );
        Integer age;

        if( Date.today().month() > dob.month() ) {
            age = Date.today().year() - dob.year();
        }
        else if( 
            Date.today().month() == dob.month() && 
            Date.today().day() >= dob.day() 
        ) {
            age = Date.today().year() - dob.year();
        }
        else {
            age = Date.today().year() - dob.year() - 1 ;
        }
        
        return age;
    }
}

You can implement this on the client side using jQuery. In the jQuery, create a function to collect the Gender and Age values entered by the User. Then check if the Gender is Female and Age is greater than 12. If yes, then show the Field3 input field using show method of jQuery else Hide it. And then call this method in the onchange of the Gender and Age input fields.

Here is the markup - 
<apex:page id="page" standardController="Employee__c">
    <apex:form id="form">
        <apex:pageBlock id="pgblk" mode="edit" title="Employee Edit">
            <apex:pageBlockSection id="pgblksec" title="Information" columns="2">
                <apex:inputField id="inpFldGender" value="{!Employee__c.Gender__c}" onchange="displayField3()"></apex:inputField>
                <apex:inputField id="inpFldAge" value="{!Employee__c.Age__c}" onchange="displayField3()"></apex:inputField>
                <apex:inputField style="display:none" id="inpFld3" value="{!Employee__c.Field3__c}"></apex:inputField>
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
    
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var displayField3 = function() {
            var genderVal   = $( "[id*='inpFldGender']" ).val();
            var ageVal      = $( "[id*='inpFldAge']" ).val();
            
            if( genderVal === 'Female' && ageVal > 12 ) {
                $( "[id*='inpFld3']" ).show();
                $( "[for*='inpFld3']" ).show();
            }
            else {
                $( "[id*='inpFld3']" ).hide();
                $( "[for*='inpFld3']" ).hide();
            }
        };
        
        displayField3();
    </script>
