I wondered about this when I had my first child.  I don't think its  a gender
thing, I think it depends on experience.  Most women breastfeed their second,
third, Breastfeeding.cometc., a little longer than the first.  I know with my
first I was pretty much thinking a year was good enough and basically he was
weaned by then.  He was a boy.  My second was a girl and I was going to nurse
for up to 2 years and ended up nursing her for close to 6 years.

Gender did not come to mind in this decision
