Females are the species really.
The male is somewhat irrelevent other than to provide for the female and ensure offspring are therefore taken care of... which is finally what it is all about.
AND Kearn maybe why they live longer etc is they dont have the tendancy to abuse their bodies the way many males do.
When younger I put my life at risk each week for thrills and simply lucky my number did not come up during that period of stupidity.
Many of the things I did when young are now causing me grief.. things that will no doubt lessen my life expectancy.. things that really had no meaning other than to pander to my ego... sport for example has its good points but at the competative levels required for sucess these days many sports will detract from a trouble free life later. Injuries will heal but in later life they come back to haunt you and make it more difficult to manage existence.
Also they, although reliant in many respects upon males, they seem to be able to exist better with out males than males can without females.
