From article—For example, although women now participate massively in the work force, their roles remain different and their professional activities are, on average, less prejudicial to their health.

Less prejudicial to their health. Nice way of saying not working in the same dangerous and stressful jobs.

Feels like the author is trying to justify what they know is false -- the idea that the gap is "natural".

Women most probably have a biological advantage that allows them to live longer, but in the past--and in several places, still today--the status and life conditions of women nullified this benefit

In other words they know modern medicine came to help women when they were "only" living as long as men, a hundred years ago, but it failed to help men, because fuck men. And this policy decision is what they now try to pass off as "natural" so as to justify the discrimination.

a biological advantage that allows them to live longer

I suppose in one sense they do. The advantage is that women are objects of compassion and men are objects of fear. Societies make sexist choices to help women --but not men-- all the time. That's women's "biological advantage" : prejudice. Aka "privilege".
