A fair bit of the difference in lifespan isn't genetic, it's social. Statistically, men and women don't do the same jobs, and some of those are much more dangerous than others. Men are also more likely to get into accidents and violence, leading to younger deaths.

None of that cares about your genetics and your reproductive organs and hormones are only peripherally involved in it.

Also on average unmarried men live shorter than married men. While there is no difference between married and unmarried women.

Lol, what a convenient manipulation of reality you've done here!

Not only do married men live longer, but they do it at the expense of their wives, since women who are married live shorter lives (and are less happy!) than women who aren't.

Men quite literally drain the life out of us.
