I think certainly when the object likely to be doing the crushing is a man’s body,
It's just the forces on the body compressing your lungs so that you can't breath. The same forces also constrict your blood vessels. It doesn't really matter who it's from. It could be a bunch of other men, a bunch of other women, a mix of men/women, or a pack of chimpanzees for that matter. We don't know the ratio of men/women there. It could be that more women died because there was a higher proportion of them there, so it might be better not to prematurely speculate on that.
not to mention the relative prevalence of osteoporosis in older women
The vast majority of those people were young adults in their 20s/30s, so I'm not sure what you're trying to suggest with this? Also, in these kinds of crowd crushes what kills you is suffocation, so let's not engage in unfounded speculation.
