Statistically, females outlive men, everywhere (+ exceptions, which we will look into). Clarification: sex is an unchangeable, biological characteristic. Gender is a social construct, but sometimes used to mean sex, which may be considered a bit vulgar by some prissy authors.

Greatest among female’s risks, infanticide (esp. in Asia), and pregnancy-childbirth issues. Previous link is a good excuse for a young family to emigrate from these gyninfant-phobic societies, because females are the life of the family. Plus, girls are usually more manageable than boys.

The Marginotion Theory of robust (Aubutts?) female advantage
Previous links outlined the idea of female superiority over males in the longer life span measure. Not mentioned was my idea, as follows.
The female hormone estrogen has the characteristic of disallowing adipose tissue (aka visceral fat) from aggregating in the abdomen, and promoting it to aggregate in the pelvic region (from the gut to the butt). My theory is that this feature was adaptive because a developing fetus does not compete well in a uterus crowded with extraneous material. Thus the famous hourglass figure of a well developed female human. Males are more inclined to develop gut fat as they age.

Furthermore, having an abdomen naturally drawn-in (not with corset) has the advantage of easing respiration. Why? The diaphragm is a sheet muscle that draws down from the rib cage (pulmonary cavity) to inspire air, but it needs to push intestinal organs down & out of its way too. If that region is loaded with extra material (fat), that will add to the load and compete for fullness of breath. And, since breath is the house of life, without it, we are as dust in the wind; shortness of breath, shortness of life.
Often overlooked in respiration references, is the dual role of circulating both air and blood. See Significant Dualities (Scroll down to “Respiratory-Circulatory System Overlap”. Don’t miss this one unless you know the case; blood circulation is important!) For the really curious, see also Hypoxia, Nitrogen narcosis, Oxygen deprivation and Biological functions of nitric oxide.
A brief segment of original blog has been spun-off to [Dominance as Social Construct](work in progress), scroll down to ‘Genderarchy’. It did not belong in this thread, being only indirectly associated with life-span. It’s more about family sustainability. (edit Nov.30)
