Why might living in a gender egalitarian society erase or reduce sex differences in longevity? To what extent is this actually the case?
What will be an ideal response?
Because gender norms prompt men to more frequently engage in unhealthy behaviors and to show less concern for their health and diet, living in a gender egalitarian culture may decrease women’s advantage in life expectancy. Research on cultures lacking traditional gender roles does reveal a reduction in the sex difference for health and longevity but does not completely erase it.
