Core Textאָמַר רַבִּי יִצְחָק אָמַר רַבִּי אַמֵּי: בָּא זָכָר לָעוֹלָם בָּא כִּכְרוֹ בְּיָדוֹ. זָכָר — זֶה כַּר... נְקֵבָה — נְקִיָּה בָּאָה, עַד דְּאָמְרָה מְזוֹנִי לָא יָהֲבִי לַהּ.

English of Core Text: Rabbi Yitzchak said in the name of Rabbi Ammi: When a male comes into the world, his loaf comes in his hand... A female — she comes clean (empty-handed); until she says “Give me food,” they do not give her.

On the daf / in context: Continuation of the same sugya: the male is born with provision associated to him; the female must request sustenance. (Notarikon readings of zachar / nekevah.)
