I think you're misinterpreting this one. I think the intended message isn't "those silly females are being overly dramatic!" but that men don't talk about/address their issues and the consequences are real. Those two statistics are indicating that more women are seeking help and men aren't, and as result more women get better while men are driven to suicide. It's encouraging men to talk about their problems (it's a forum after all) instead of ignoring them. It's a good thing.

I agree, we should talk about the destructive gender roles enforced on men by Western society that tell them that they have to be tough and shouldn't talk to others about their feelings or seek help for their emotions. I'm gonna hazard a guess that that's not what you want to talk about though.  MARSHAL LAW

I really can't find just one to post because they're all terrible. 99% of the comments on the Brittany Maynard / right to die thing. Of course Obama was brought into it, and somehow the story of Noah/rivers or some poo poo. ...Also most of the news articles are terrible.

Women attempt suicide much more often than men do. They succeed much less often because there's a strong association between gender and suicide method. Women tend to favor methods like overdosing on pills that are more likely to fail; men tend to favor methods like jumping off tall buildings or shooting themselves in the head that are more likely to stick. (This is the case in America and probably other Western countries, don't know about elsewhere.) What I'm saying is that MRA's have legitimately found one area in which men are objectively far better and more capable than women: killing themselves.

Men are way more successful at suicide and we should stop them from being so. I mean, suicide is kind of a lovely thing. Arsonist Daria has a new favorite as of 01:04 on Oct 11, 2014 |

Isn't that extremely rare, though? http://www.isna.org/faq/frequency there's a lot of different biological conditions included under the heading of "intersex," and while it's rare it's nowhere near as rare as people ASSUME it is, especially since the usual way for doctors to handle any intersex condition that is less obviously-difficult-to-handwave than outright fully-formed hermaphroditic sex organs is to be all "you're whichever one we picked for you now NEVER QUESTION IT EVER"

(This is the case in America and probably other Western countries, don't know about elsewhere.) In China, the most common methods of suicide are pesticide ingestion and jumping from buildings, and female suicides outnumber male suicides at about 1.3:1 (source). Naturally there are a lot of other factors that go into that number, but the efficiency of suicide methods is part of it.

I just don't get how "Everybody dies" is a legitimate endgame that the government would want. What does anyone gain from killing all of their citizens? Less traffic downtown? It doesn't even say a certain type of person will be singled out, it's "People will be forced out of their homes" and once FEMA's got them, "everyone will die." Just... because?

Anyone curious about the whole intersex topic should read Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. I mean, it's a novel, so I'm not sure whether it's completely factual, but I believe the intersex community has had a positive reaction to it- it does a really good job of getting into the mindset of an intersex person. Plus it's just a drat fine book in general- it won the Pulitzer for fiction!

Its actually exactly the same math being done, other than being an estimate instead of an exact calculation. You just don't think about it. And the link at the bottom gives quite a few examples where you DO do the calculations exactly, but don't think of it as algebra.
