We each have 23 pairs of chromosomes. For men, the X chromosome we inherit from our mother has three times as many genes as the Y inherited from our father. So men inherit slightly more genetic material from their mothers as they do their fathers, say 51:49 ratio, give or take.
Any sons you have will get 51% of their genetic material from their mother, and 49% from you. In each generation the female genes outnumber the male genes.
Extrapolate this ratio across several generations, and the long term trend is clear. No?
