I think it depends on the crisis.

Has it right.

Women have always been more likely to survive, since men protect them.

That's what first came to mind. Men typically do the more dangerous work during a crisis/disaster/etc.

Oh yeah, it's all "women's rights! women's lib! equal treatment!!" up until the point the ship starts to sink... and suddenly it's "women first!" lol....

Thanks to the patriarchy and the men protecting the women.

That’s the stupidest article... we have always known that females have longer lifespans than man and it has NOTHING to do with a crisis...

no real investigation going on there, just making observations and assumptions.

for instance in a crisis situation the men go out to protect the village, and the women stay in and pool resources to make sure the people survive and to take care of the men when they return.

LOL I'm sorry but did you really post that women need to take care of men when they return. Why do we need to take care of men. This mentality of men is why women have been suppressed. You need to give women more credit. They aren't the weaklings anymore.

Hugely complex issue. Some points already addressed here.

One consideration is that due to the rigors of childbirth, women have been genetically selected that have higher resistance to disease, infection etc. not to mention a higher average fat content which would explain at least some of the Irish famine numbers in the article.

Basically, this is a hugely complex issue that some website hungry for clicks plopped a sexy title on. *shrug*
