hm.. the main threat in that case probably is hypothermia which theoretically means women have a better chance to survive in the water as female skin has a thicker layer of fat beneath it, which means that their bodies don't cool off as quickly
in ice cold water (Titanic) conditions that should only give them some few more minutes, however in "cool" water (15-20°C) there might be a significant difference in how long they can resist hypothermia
