I'm sorry, but I do not accept what you are saying. In particular, because the phrase does not mention a particular gender. You are right that men have more rights and responsibilities according to the Quran, but that it no way means that men are a "preferred creation". We were both created equal from one soul (4:1). The more I think about it, i think that the question may be referring to monetary advantages that some men have over other men, and how they both must spend their wealth to support their families, although I am not sure, which is why I posed the question. I also do not know where your translation of 4:34 comes from. The word "bestowed" is used, not "excel". It's also "some of them", not "one of them".
