I know this is a little bit of a cheat, but maybe it isn't about male vs female but Argent vs Non- Argent.

The Argent women are the leaders and so often directing what happens (Gerard appears to be an exception).

The show likes to surprise us. I didn't expect Kate or Allison's mom to get killed because it would be inconsistent with how most shows normally work. And both were killed.

The only reason I expected that Allison might get killed is because they teased "a hero will die" this season and throughout the season she seemed overcome and her character development and necessity dropped of. Otherwise, I would not have expected them to kill off a main character.

Meanwhile, Gerard was as evil as they come so I expected him to be killed and so he wasn't.

So, in the vein of surprises, it makes sense the Argents that lived and those that died.

Side Question: Moving away from the Argents, regardless of his gender, doesn't it make sense in the scheme of the show that Deucalion lived. How could they have killed Deucalion? Him living and his redemption was a little bit of a surprise [which is what the show tries to do]. They couldn't let Scott kill him [Scott never kills]. If Derek [or any werewolf] had killed him they would have absorbed his powers and become the most powerful Alpha. Other than possibly Jennifer killing Deucalion and then them beating Jennifer, who could have killed Deucalion [which would require them to find another way for Scott to become a True Alpha because Jennifer would not have hid in the circle from Derek and Scott the way she did from Deucalion] without upsetting the plot of the show?
