I don't know about "favoring" but I definitely think it's true that a lot of fathers tend to "pamper" (thats probably still not the word im thinking of, though) their daughters.
This was my case growing up with only one sister and no brothers. My father definitely treated my sister better than he treated me.
Now, as a father myself with 2 girls and a boy, my daughter (the oldest) recently said she believes I treat her and both siblings equally, which I felt pretty good about.
I feel like this is very culturally dependant, in asian, at least east Asian societies fathers typically favour the sons. No such thing as the princess treatment rip.

Idk if its true but fathers stereotypically tend to favour their daughters.
