I think it's actually pretty likely that women are just built better than men. I can't even attempt to explain why but it just appears that a lot of ailments that affect men tend to be rather minimized in women after they pass through menopause.

I don't know if it's actually fair to try and ascribe expected lifetimes to lifestyle when there are some pretty clear biological differences - this strikes me as a sort of Occam's Razor situation.

It’s pretty likely we care about women. The modern ad campaign testify a lot of this behavior.

There was a woman who did immense progress for the miners and factory workers, organizing demonstrations and strikes. But she had never had success trying to attract attention of the number of limbs lost or lives lost. No-one cared than men were severing their bodies at work and living disabled. Then she stated wording it this way:

“When a man dies at work, it’s a WIFE and little CHILDREN who can’t eat.”

Then men started improving safety.
