Are you suggesting that women are too incompetent to kill themselves?
The less sexist explanation is that women generally use suicide attempts as a way of asking for help while men generally use suicide attempts as a way of escape.
Stated in those terms, both groups are very competent at achieving the end goal.
- PeterHolzwarth 5y agoEasy, tiger - you may want to consider switching to decaf. Each component of what I stated in response to the comment above is accurate, and an appropriate explanation of the implied assumption in it that suicide lies more commonly with men than women (a common misconception arising from what I explain).
- aliswe 5y agoisnt this explanation even more sexist? ..
