Why Are My Sons Like Their Mother and My Girls Like Me?

There must be some reason that my 3 girls are much more like me and at least 3 of my sons are much more like their mother. Maybe this is typical, I don't know.
You would think that a boy would want to emulate his dad, but mine mostly hate me, at least the 3 oldest. The weird thing is that it really makes no difference at all what I do, they still despise me.
A week ago my son asked me for $5, so I gave him $5. His response: "You cheap ass fucking piece of shit!"
Can you imagine? Who says things like this to their own father? After giving him exactly what he asked for.
This sort of thing has happened dozens of times in different ways.
One time I asked my then 21 year old son to empty the dishwasher. We were in the kitchen and I was cleaning up (he never, ever helped or offered). His response: " I feel like smashing your face!"
Anyway, I don't get it. Never in my worst moment did I do any such thing to my father. I think the worst thing I ever said to him was "No." I only did it once.
