Answer
If we assume an equal number of male and female offspring, then the X-linked disorder would appear more frequently in males.
Work Step by Step
Males inherit only one X chromosome, so every time the male inherits an x-lined mutant gene, it should be expressed -whether it is recessive or dominant. In the case of females, two X chromosome are inherited: in this case if the mutant gene is recessive it would not be ex,pressed in a heterozygote genotype.
Of course, only one of the two female X chromosomes is active--the other one becomes a Barr body--that makes the explanation more complicated. In any case, if the mutant gene is an autosomal gene, because
there are corresponding loci for a trait (on homologous chromosomes) in males and females, an autosomal recessive trait would tend to be expressed with equal frequency in males and in females
