Father, because they have the x and y chromosomes. If the x chromosome meets with the womens x it'll be a girl, if the y chrom. meets w/ the womens x chromosome it'll be a boy. The women only has x chromosomes, the man has x and y chromosomes, so the man determines it

Unfortunately us women have no say in the gender of babies as that is determined by the father.

The gender is decided by the sperm. The egg starts of as an x chromosome. The sperm can either carry an x chromosome or a y chromosome. When an x is introduced to the egg you get an xx resulting in a female offspring, and when a y is introduced to the egg you get an xy resulting in a male offspring.

Mom contributes an X chromosone.
Dad can contribute an X chromosone OR a Y chromosome.
XX is a female and XY is a male.
So, it's the father that determines gender.

Naturally the father.
King Louis the 16th thought that it was the mother and killed off a bunch of his wives so that he could have a son.
You can hire doctor to analize and sepparate sperms containing the x and y cromozones. You can then choose which pool of sperm you want to use and create a boy or a girl to your liking.
Some people find that unethical, however it can be helpful when there is a disease runing in the family that affects a specific gender.
I hope you like my fun facts!
