/r/television believes women are more suicidal than men, downvotes me to oblivion.

I hate this "women attempt suicide more often" nonsense because for that to be a valid rebuttal it demands the belief that women's feelings are more important than men's lives.

Do they want it to sound like they’re better for having successfully committed suicide more than men? If women really desperately want the title of “Gender that commits suicide more” then they should probably choose a method that will actually end their life. They obviously don’t want to die if they’re not using harsher methods. No offense. Just reality.

They shouldn’t be arguing over something as serious as this when factually men are more susceptible to suicidal tendencies.

If you commit suicide, you can't attempt anymore and push up the stat. But let's be honest, if the stats were reversed then all people would care about would be commit rates instead of attempt rates.

They don't attempt suicide more. They attempt to be a victim of their own actions more.

Remember, feelz before realz.

I think most people were just upset that the conversation was being had in a post announcing a suicide while others were probably just mentioning sympathies and fond memories.

Still, the statistics don't lie. It's disgusting how "feminists" fight so hard to be seen as victims in every facet.

And yet 8/10 suicides are men, globally.

Television, the great mind rot machine. These unfortunate victims deserve our sympathy, and maybe sheltered accommodations, but don't take their ravings too seriously.

SOwED · 2017-12-21T00:08:37+00:00

Lol how was it suspicious that you had similar numbers of downvotes on two comments that were saying basically the same thing?

rocelot7 · 2017-12-21T05:01:57+00:00

So what they are saying is that we need to teach women is that those warnings are prescriptions are there so doctors, pharmacists and pharmaceutical companies can't be sued if you where to take over such an amount, not that you'll magical die if you take too many and/or mix with alcohol. There not an how to suicide guide and are undervalued just for this reason.

Besides just because women attempt more doesn't make them more suicidal and at risk. That's an inaccurate conclusion if I ever heard one.

KingRobotPrince · 2017-12-20T21:55:45+00:00

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that a man who goes somewhere quite and eats a bullet is counted the same as a woman who takes a load of pills with a bottle of wine and immediately calls everyone she knows to tell them what she has done. And that they are treated as one successful attempt and one unsuccessful attempt.

Blutarg · 2017-12-21T04:11:21+00:00

Jeez, that myth is harder to kill than Rasputin.

KoprollendeParkiet · 2017-12-21T07:01:22+00:00

Where was your source though?

TheSilentFart01 · 2017-12-21T03:39:55+00:00

The argument these people never bring up is, if women choose less lethal methods of suicide than men, why?

thro_way · 2017-12-21T04:24:37+00:00

I agree with your position, but "Oh man, there's so much your missing" isn't really a point. And then the third comment went off into /r/iamverysmart tier; I would have downvoted it too.

SuperfluousShadows · 2017-12-20T18:25:35+00:00

It seems like all they were saying is that women ATTEMPT suicide more often than men. Men die by suicide more often, but women attempt it more often.

2017-12-20T21:06:09+00:00

When you hear something like this it's tempting to jump into dissecting it's stupidity. Before you do, think deeply on what a piece of shit you'd have to be to compete for victimhood with the masses of dead humans.

Foobyx · 2017-12-20T20:30:55+00:00

Why the fuck do you talk about suicide?

She didn't. No one talk about it.

Your comment is totally irrelevant, please, hopefully you got downvoted. People express sympathy for the express and you come up comparing suicidal rate... Not the place to do it.
