@PhilosophyExp There's always the bit, though, about how a much higher percentage of suicide attempts by men (than by women) are successful.

@Metamagician Yes, and then there's the complication of factoring in how many of these attempts are "genuine" rather than a "cry for help".

@PhilosophyExp Yup. Complicated stuff must be happening. But evidently a lot of miserable people of both sexes (for whatever reasons)...

@Metamagician Religion also interesting complication. Some evidence pressure on coroners, etc., from Catholic families to record open...

@PhilosophyExp @Metamagician but in England and Wales proof is beyond reasonable doubt- the same as unlawful killing

@ortrudethevegan @Metamagician Limitations of Twitter. The research by people such as Douglas and Atkinson suggested a "suicide" designation

@PhilosophyExp I blame the Patriarchy.

@skepteaser Oddly enough, some of the sociological explanations focus on patriarchal structures (stresses imposed by male gender role, etc)!

@PhilosophyExp @skepteaser The Patriarchy hurts men too? Never heard that one before.

@SubManUSN I'm curious as to how they manage to overlook decades of education based on gender-differences denialism. @PhilosophyExp

@skepteaser @PhilosophyExp We need a better perceived model of society. The oppressor/oppressed one makes adversarial that which shouldn't.

@PhilosophyExp Interestingly, a predictor for depression in teenage males—high cortisol—isn't predictive for females: http://ind.pn/1fuZTB6
