Funny how they sometimes say they don’t understand male competitiveness but they’re plenty competitive when it comes to which sex has a harder life.

"Women suffer."

- yes

"Men suffer."

- yes, but...

What gets me is - women will say a man is a baby or child over the tiniest action related to something they didn't even sign up for and will tell them to toughen up. But if a woman pulls they "I'm a little frail woman." or "I don't feel safe." and a man says -"This is what you signed up for, toughen up." That's bad an evil.

Studies find that women "attempt" more because they include self harm as suicide attempts. Women engage in self harm more than men.

Women do it for attention. Men do it when they lose everything

It's not that hard to kill yourself, getting close without killing yourself take a lot of effort, those who "attempted suicide" and lived to tell the tale had no desire to kill themselves. Hence, why the "women attempt more" does not hold water.

To them it is

Honestly, I am at a point of let them commit suicide if they want. That's pretty horrible of me perhaps, but think of it this way: therapy for men basically doesn't exist. It's all by women and for women. Their big plan for solving the suicide problem is to take away the means and drug people into complacency without addressing the underlying problems. That's not a solution.

Typically, this is because women generally "attempt" suicide for attention and pity, not out of a genuine desire to die. Men however, generally, only attempt suicide when they actually want to be done with it all. Also, men don't generally use unsure methods like pills, et al. they tend to firearms, hanging, that sort of thing.

The reason women "attempt" suicide more often is because women are a lot more likely to have histrionic personality disorder then men:

And people with histrionic personality disorder often have many dramatic suicide "attempts" in their lifetimes

A few women have many "attempts" at suicide, which is really just them seeking attention, so it skews the numbers

Assuming that we are talking about suicide rates; women attempting more does not paint a very flattering picture of women no matter how you slice it.

Option 1: They are either too stupid and/or incompetent to figure out how to use the more effective methods that men use

or

Option 2: They don't actually want to end their life, it's a cry for help that they are just using to garner attention and sympathy from their friends and family

Pick whichever one you want because either way; it looks bad on women.
