Article here. Excerpt:

'Women have traditionally outlived men due in part to the increased mortality rates of "masculine" careers like the military and mining.

But with the West at peace, dangerous careers on the decline and men increasingly willing to improve their diets and seek early medical advice, male life expectancy is increasing at a faster rate.'

This looks like the typical feminist fantasy that women will be winning marathons by some far off date. Optimistic projections intended to neutralize the fact that men are 93% of workplace fatalities, 80% of suicides, and that a boy born today will live 7.3 years less than a girl born today.
