Is this what feminism is all about?

Unfortunately, feminism has delivered some pretty negative outcomes, as well as many positive ones.

Over the years the rate of attempted suicides has been approximately equal between males and females. The rate of death from suicide for males is 4-5 times higher than females. Why? Well one reason is the method used. Females have traditionally used "softer" methods when attempting suicide, drug overdose, slit wrists etc, allowing for intervention and remedial counselling. Males on the other hand tend to use more immediate methods, guns, when available, jumping to their death, hanging.

Sadly, along with embracing other things masculine, women are increasingly moving to masculine methods for attempting suicide. Shame they have chosen to take the bad as well as the good.

Since very masculine women are not likely to have children, and are a lot more likely not to have well adjusted ones if they did, is that really so bad? It's a victimless crime!

Would you have such sympathy, and curiosty of cause for a man who killed himself?

I don't regard it as a crime so much as a tragedy. Most people who kill themselves do so because they can see no other alternative.

Most can be given the chance to reclaim their life if a caring person holds out their hand to pull them out of the emotional quagmire that they find themselves in.

People make their own choices when it comes to suicide but we can help some to move beyond this black time ... if we get the chance.

sorry but sliting your wrists and shooting your self id pick the gun its faster there for less pain sliting your wrists is a lot harder cos you have to cut half way through your arm and that bloody hurts more at lest the gun would kill fast.


my dad dose councilling for men so i do hear the storys but ethier male or female you do need to hurt alot

attenting suicide is hard than most think i dont have a gun so i have to settle for a friggin razor i would preffer a gun.

us female tend to cut for years then start attemting suicide i myself have done so and know many others how have also done so
it is the last option and works better for guys cos their sucses rate is higher

i tend to delay with things and then settel for cutting

sad but you have to settle for whats around you at the time
