.....in the case of strong Patriarchal societies/families, more resources are spent on the son in order to ensure that he has the things he needs in order to become a man, make the family proud, get a good job, etc.
In fact, a great deal of time is spend on preparing the son for life. I've have seen it/see it, in Asian, Mediterranean and other families that are heavily patriarchal.
SO.......it's not quite the same thing.
Peace,
