These reports need to show ALL the states. Most show that women make more ATTEMPTS, but men are more SUCCESSFUL, as the percentage of successful suicides.
Because people don't care until they've committed suicide. In my entire province I could only find 3 groups that are exclusive men's health groups. Versus at least 100s of exclusive women's health groups.
Because men are more efficient in what they do. Numbers show that women attempt suicide more than men, yet succeed less.

Toxic masculinity tells us to never be weak (or show any weakness whatsoever) and to be immortal-like. And so men carry it through until it backfires and they commit suicide.
Simple. Men tend to use methods that are irreversible, like gunshots to head or jumping from high places. Women tend to use pills or cut themselves, which are more amenable to medical remediation.

Women are drama queens who use piss poor suicide attempts to call for help.
Men see sadness and grief as weaknesses. They don't talk about it or seek help. Therefore their tattered emotions go unnoticed and untreated. Women are more likely to talk and seek help.
Because a patriarchal society dictates that we be financially successful in order to be worthy of love but if we are and use that success as a tool to find love, then we are oppressive.
I don't think men are 4 times likely to commit a suicide. I think anyone who's selfish with no faith, no emotional support, no rational thinking is likely to act on such tendencies

There's just so little in the way of healthy psychological support for men.

I am fortunate not to practice it.
The pressure to perform at a very high level.
Men who don't are looked down upon.
Lack of interest in mens health, well being.
In general a very low societal worth of a man.

Men get shit done.
🎶 sexist 🎶
@DesiUwU Reality has a well known sexist bias.
Because they keep their emotions bottled up. They think they can't cry or seek help.
Because our society finds it more convenient to step over a man's corpse than help him to his feet
The pressure for men to be big, strong, dominant, alpha is so unrealistic and unattainable for most. They fail and they become depressed.
There's a term that sums up the reasons for this very nicely, but that term seems to be forbidden on GaG.
Patriarchy and society making them feel weak for having emotions and having struggles so they repress everything until it pushes them off the edge.

Prob most because of stress and what not from bad and toxic relationships

Because us Men do not get that much support from anyone, You Girls are Capable of getting support more easily.

Because men are taught not to seek help so they bottle it all up until they explode
