Apparently when the researchers looked at the statistics it was a small but significant difference. They don't know why but theorized that 1. Fathers are more attached to their sons and therefore less likely to leave an unhappy marriage and 2. Mothers think that boys need their dad and therefore are less likely to leave with their sons.
It's not a huge difference, but enough so that they noted it -- and were surprised by it as I recall. It led them to then look at families with two children of the same sex trying for a third (on the other had maybe the parents of boys were too tired to try for a third!).
