All of the stats he cites outside of the suicide stuff don't differentiate between men and women. They indicate that everyone (men and women) feels like trash these days.
Unless every Ken Burns doc I've ever watched was a deepfake, the overwhelming majority of cannon fodder in major conflict in recent human history has been young men, so maybe there is something to the young men break stuff idea. However, there are plenty of women toting AK-47s in the YPG, so I'm not sure the degree to which this is a cultural thing.
As for the suicide stats, I believe that men tend to use guns, and guns are one of the gold standards for this sort of thing. Men are exposed to guns more as a cultural thing, and may feel more confident/comfortable in their ability to commit suicide with one.

Here are some graphs this nonprofit made from CDC data that help build the idea that women try to kill themselves more than men, but men are more successful at it.
