Actually that gap is closing as women spend more time in higher stress work situations, expose themselves to more toxins and as the general population becomes less active and more over weight.

Women generally take better care of themselves.
Woman's body also naturally cleanses itself while producing new blood and releasing toxins
Take less risk maybe? Maybe genetics? No one will know.
There are those who believe that dictionaries should not merely reflect the times but also protect English from the mindless assaults of the trendy.

As for the reasons, I doubt too many women says, "Hey, hold my beer and watch this." LMAO
Men also have a tendency to be more stoic and keep their emotions bottled up, which, among with other things, makes them more susceptible to high blood pressure, and they are less likely to see a doctor on a regular basis.
I wonder if being married then adds a few years to a man's life.
more men have dangerous jobs
If you look at death rates in the U.S. men die younger due to a variety of factors. The average age is just that- an average. So the higher death rates for young males who engage in risky behavior is factored in. Men also have higher desease rates for things like heart attacks ( women are catching up unfortunately). Men work a much higher percentage of "risky" jobs resulting in another factor of higher deaths. So when looking to the "average age" of deaths it is not surprising that men's "average" life expectancy is lower than womens. IMHO
