Sure, 80% of suicides are men.

I wonder why when people casually make comments like this that men simply existing ruins lives, it's a mystery.

Get a grip.

Oh, I read it to mean the men work themselves to death and the women benefit from it to live long lives. That's been my experience anyway.

To be fair, women attempt suicide at higher rates than men, men just choose deadlier ways to do it.

True, but I imagine for vastly different reasons.

I imagine one of the few big reasons for men is being seen as socially disposable or a hindrance.

Personally I've had 8 attempts resulting in hospitalisation but only a few of those times were for social reasons.

Which that person's comment reinforces, idiotically.

So for equality do we show women where they are going wrong so they succeed more? Or provide male focused anti suicide support?
