I don't see how any of this has to do with gender whatsoever.

My brothers girlfriend is expecting a new baby. And about month and half ago, she was grumbling to my mum about her feeling big like all expecting mums. And my mum, the sensitive soul she is said: oh you do not have to worry about being fat until you get as big as me or Jen...
I was utterly raging. She should never have said that to my face. She knew I had to stop taking meds that affected my thyroid. So my thyroid function had slowed. I have since lost weigh without trying, or changing anything. So when I do get back to work I will be my usual slim self. I almost considered dieting because of her.

this is wrong I will agree but reading all your posts, I dont' see how it has to do with girls being harder.
The rest of the first post sounds like just a bunch of dysfunctional behavior but when you mention the brother, it sounds like favoritism to me, but that is not exclusive by any stretch of the imagination, do boys or males in the family. Pure and simple favoritism is wrong and yes there are cases where some parents will favorite a child because of gender but that's not across the board
I don't see anything in your post saying that they've ever stated or implied that he was the favorite because he is male but I will say this, if that's true that does not mean the stereotype that it's harder as a girl in a family fits.
