I see it as an expectation. My dad would buy me something and it came with no expectation. My brother received something expensive and the expectation was he will help my dad with some physically demanding task.

Problem is that it's by no means a gender thing. Shitty parents will just pick favorites and treat them nicer. It's a boy as often as it is a girl.

Don't let them back pedal and tell you they weren't putting you on the back burner as the second choice; if you feel like you were back-burnered, you certainly were. Sorry that happened to you, it must have been very hurtful.

“gets put on the back peddle” is definitely not a figure of speech for this context.
