> Mothers show a gender bias towards their daughters

Or men simply dislike it way more to be called by their mother (or calling her). I am a bit guilty of that myself.

It makes complete evolutionary sense, though: Women are always completely sure that their children are theirs, and men can never be.

So if your daughter physically came out of you, any people that physically comes out of her are undoubtedly your actual grandchildren. A safe investment. Your son, on the other hand, could always get cuckolded.

Well, even that might be a consequence of mothers bonding more strongly with daughters than with sons earlier in life.
