I do seem to recall a study somewhere which suggested that women were more 'g' tolerant than men.
I also remember reading a study which suggested that shorter people were more G tolerant than taller* and women were, on average, shorter than men. It would also tie in with the 'short and stocky = better G tolerance' theory.

* Apparently it's all to do with the distance the heart has to pump the blood to the brain - the shorter you are the less the distance between the two so the more blood supply your brain gets. Allegedly.

Women have smaller brains, so they'll need less blood supply anyway.
But on that basis you'd be better off training a chimp to fly
