Before anyone jaunts too far down the road of literal survivorship bias, I'd like to point out that it'd be incredibly premature—or perhaps way too late—to speculate much on the social side of things.
Elsewhere I've seen some people making hay about exactly whose-males we're with whose-females to make (surviving) lineages, and want to point out that it's normal for certain genes to have sex differences in how they propagate.
In particular, consider the modern problem of RH incompatibility [0], where one combination is much more likely to end up with a child than an identical but gender-bent one.
