> "While it's probably still true that being male makes it easier to earn more money (especially now, when all the geeky, previously unpopular, mostly male programmers cashed in), but it also makes it easier to be homeless and to die sooner" Oh sure. My whole point is "It's complicated". w.r.t. to suicide I think part of that is societal gender roles. We tell 5 year old boys to stop crying because "big boys don't cry", then we wonder why 20 year old men kill themselves rather than seek mental health. "Institutional power imbalances" is one bad sexist thing. "Gender roles" (boys don't cry, women shouldn't do maths) are another bad sexist thing. It's all complicated and connected.
