I really like Hugo Rifkind and his writing (and even this piece, largely), but it’s worth clarifying this stat (which is pretty well know): yes, men do successfully commit suicide more often than women, but women attempt it far morehttps://twitter.com/hugorifkind/status/945755524297093121 …
This is because women tend to use less violent methods (like overdosing) whereas men tend to use more violent methods (like guns/hanging). More women suffer mental health problems than men as well. So the stat about male suicide rates don’t tell the full story.
Thanks very much Sarah, and I did not know that. Will read up. Out of interest, is that based on hospital admissions or self-reporting?
It seems like the NHS stats are self-reported. This references a pretty good number of studies: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/jan/21/suicide-gender-men-women-mental-health-nick-clegg …
Men also are keener on taking someone else with them, of course...
tbh this reads as kind of derailing, which I don't think is your intent but 
how the fuck is it derailing to talk about how the stats alone arent representative? its shining a light on the whole story and clarifying a thought
