I think it might be more just a practice of the times. Firstborn son is the heir & also responsible to care for the dependents of the household (unmarried sisters, mother, minor children, etc.), the estate, cot-holders, servants, & so on. Second son was often provided with a purchased officer's commission as soon as of age (often before the father's death). Third son might get a commission also if feasible, or did often join the clergy (or for RCC the priesthood I suppose.) That's old England but I expect it was much the same throughout Europe.
I am not as familiar with the English, however, French Catholics used this system until well into the 1800's here in southern Louisiana. If you were Cajun French, you prized daughters over sons.
