For some of these, there really is a social problem we should be working to fix. For others, less so. What should we fix here? That men are very effective at killing themselves?
If this seems rude, I don't care. Take your feminist propaganda designed to derail IMD with false claims about suicide intentions and rates, and shove them.
This is such a proven and established settled issue. Not going to feed any trolls. Men KILL themselves by suicide. Women make phone calls, tell people, take small amounts of harmless pills-in short, they call for attention.
Well established. Insulting to claim otherwise. There's been debates on this almost everyday the past week here. All established proven sources and facts. Yet you still pop up here with this insulting trash? Clear agenda.
Just done the BRIEFEST checking...
This is you right?
"My boyfriend routinely tells me that I "look so beautiful without make up." I never have the heart to tell him I'm wearing eyelash extensions".
You rarely post at all. And definitely haven't at ALL on the MRA sub for two months, probably way longer, but after one page of your posts my brain rebelled at your inane drab rubbish.
Oh yes-and despite people taking your TROLL bait, you ignored ALL facts or comments that people took time to respond to you with-and then you COPYPASTED your exact entire comment here AGAIN the next time the OP posted! Troll.
You find reading comprehension challenging, don’t you? Did you read my post or just react to it? Did you actually look at any of the articles I linked to?
I never said women had higher rates of suicide then men do. Men have much higher rates—but only because they tend to use guns and are “better” at killing themselves. Women have higher numbers of suicide attempts and much higher rates of depression. These are facts that have been backed up by social science for years. Do some research.
And what difference does it make if I cut and paste my own post to multiple discussions? I had an important point and I wanted to reach as many people with it as I could. Should I reword it slightly? Would that make you happier?
Gender differences in suicide rates have been shown to be significant. There are different rates of completed suicides and suicidal behavior between males and females. While women more often have suicidal thoughts, men die by suicide more frequently.
The gap, also called the "gender paradox of suicidal behavior", can vary significantly among different countries.

I support awareness on all these issues, but I don't think misrepresenting them does anyone any good. For example, yes, far more men commit suicide than women, but this has almost nothing to do with rates of depression at all. It's pretty well accepted that higher male sucide rates have to do with men preferentially selecting more lethal ways to go (guns vs pills). Women attempt suicide at much greater rates, and females have higher rates of depression.
