Interestingly, the trend of suicide among females seems to be unaffected. The rate is steadily increasing, but the trend has been nearly the same since at least 2000. There's a noticeable increase in the suicide trend for males starting in 2013. (If I'm interpreting the graphs correctly)
- user17843 7y agoSince the media is all about feminist propaganda nowadays, this fact is not being mentioned in the headline. Although it is the most important part of the data. Why are men increasingly chosing to end their lifes? Could there be a relation between the growing dominance of anti-male 4. wave feminist viewpoints in society and propaganda in the media and this statistics? Coincidentally the fourth wave feminism started exactly one year before the increase in suicides.

- dang 7y agoIt's ideological battle, which the site guidelines explicitly ask you not to do on HN. Once someone starts going on about "feminist propaganda" or any other classic ideological flamewar topic, curiosity departs, the same way wild animals depart a forest fire. Please don't do that to the threads here.
