If it was the other way around, would it be taken up as a feminist issue? Pls don't flame me for asking this, I'm just curious.

Because as a group, males are less concerned with their health- they are taught that showing pain is a sign of weakness, so many will ignore or downplay it, more men put off or avoid doctor visits (so they often have more serious conditions by the time they seek medical treatment), engage in high-risk activity because it's "manly" - these things all have a cumulative statistical effect.

It's because you are the weaker sex.
Ever heard of "man flu" women go to work with it.
Look at how men perform if they have waxing.
Look at the way men play up pain - ever watched male football and compared it with ladies football.
I could go on, I nurse men exvlusively and I really like men - but men only imagine that women are the weaker sex! :-)

Not really. If that were true men wouldn't like Gisele (she's nearly 6ft tall) or have the tendency to marry women 4 years around their age. The word "much" is what made this wrong.

I believe it has to do with how men handle stress differently. Men have always been taught to just "suck it up." They go to work, come home and they're not supposed to complain. Women have more freedom to cry and release their emotions. When we are stressed, we do things to make us feel better, whatever that may be. That makes a big difference in a person's health.
Not to mention, it seems like most men will not go to the doctor to save their life (literally.)

It's cause they have harder, more stress-filled lives & suffer more. Women are pampered, put on pedestals, get catered to, & men DOTE on women. women get their own way all the time, & don't suffer in daily life as men do. Society is satisfied if girls simply smile, look pretty, do their nails, fix their hair & dress pretty. Women get by in life that way. society expect very little of them . No one talks harsh & nasty to women & opposes them. ( they should) Life is a smooth easy ride if you have a vagina.
this is the reason for the shorter life span. Men work harder, suffer more , get stressed more, - women don't . You need not wonder about this any further.

Married men especially die younger than their wives because they want to.

Ignore the other answers. Scientists don't know, but are working on it.
