I'm certainly concerned about current feminist 'victim' narratives but doubt this difference primarily a feminism-induced cultural construct
-
Which is not to say that we should promote the idea that women are less able to deal with words online & should be protected from them.
-
Women are also known to cry more & suffer from depression more. Yet men are more likely to commit suicide. Early stages of research suggest
-
that crying is a very useful tool to deal better with negative emotions. Emotional tears seem to contain different chemical make-up.
-
Could be that women have more negative emotions, but also better equipped to deal with them & not in as much need of protection as ppl think
-
IIRC, men more likely to *succeed* at suicide b/c they choose more lethal methods (e.g. guns vs pills) Women more likely to *attempt*.
-
Ws wrtg follow up tweet but too early & nothg makes sense. IIRC women try kill self at 2:1 male r8 but male attempts succeed at 4:1 female.
-
Such cases can also be symptom of BPD. Not of depression. So would be result of different emotions. But agree, not unimportant.
