female suicide is a small fraction of male at every age, and a 70% rise (or fall) in female suicide is much more normal than for male

You mean because it’s off a lower base? I think that’s like marginal sensitivity or something. Like 1–>2 is 100% increase but 100--> 101 is only 1% despite being +1 in both cases?
Replying to
yes exactly! marginal sensitivity is a good term but I feel like there’s a normal term for it?

I think that’s what I’d use as normal math term but yeah sounds like there should be a better one
