What do you mean by patriarchy? If you mean traditional gender roles, what about country that have strong gender roles, but a fairly low suicide gender ratio such as india and china?
- totetsu 6y agoI guess in the case of Korea, patriarchy would be something influenced by past confucian culture. This would place a patriarchal figure as the head of a household responsible interfacing that household with society.. India is a far more heterogeneous nation, so any aggregated national data would require more detail to correlate with cultures. China has a lot of political intervention into culture in this area, for example pushes to have the state take on the role of the family, and possibly with their demographic imbalance, there are a lot of men who can never have families, so there is less pressure about failure in that sense? I really have no idea.
- totony 6y agoChina's state doesn't take the role of the family afaik. The state is pretty laissez-faire until something global comes up. Also I don't think the men to female ratio being higher is that significant in aggregated data. It was like at most 120% vs SK which is ~100%. I don't think it would effect the gender suicide ratio that much. I'd even assume having more male competition pushes them to be more valuable to women i.e. more stress. I don't know much about indian culture.
