If the author was knowledgeable about demographics and populations, then they would know that in the vast majority of countries, the average life expectancy of a male is less than that of the average female.
This is regardless of the politics of that country, or the socioeconomic background of that country. So there is something very unnatural happening there.
If feminist were concerned about equality (?), then they would be interested in increasing the average life expectancy of males, but I have never heard a feminist so much as mention this (not once).
