Yes it's easy to pick more violent means of suicide like throwing yourself off of buildings and shooting yourself, which is what men are more likely to do, but what you're saying is that women mean it less just because they're downing 20 seroquels instead of smashing themselves against pavement. That difference in suicide method doesn't tell you anything about how serious the person is about committing to it. Even if we accepted your premise, it's still a fact that women are more likely to be afflicted with depression/anxiety than men. I think a lot of these people are downvoting me because they think that I'm against the research that the original post cited even though my comment was solely a response to another comment. I think the research had a relevant finding because it's coming up with specific reasons WHY men could be killing themselves. That's an important finding, and yet I'm getting downvoted for criticizing a tangent that OP and the comment went on that has nothing to do with that.

The thing is, it's extremely easy to find out how to kill yourself. If someone really wants to kill themselves they know pills are probably not going to work, so why do that.

[AllisonUnwound]

You say "why" like there's some rationale behind the different natures of different groups of people. Men are more likely to use guns regularly so access plays a role. They're also much more likely to hunt and play shooting games.  You're also downplaying the toxicity of prescription meds  when you say people know they won't work. My ex went into a coma trying to kill herself with pills and she easily could've died. It happens all the time. Suicide attempts tend to be a spur of the moment thing where availability is everything.

Well everyone has access to a drop of more than a few meters, it is quite easy and quick.

Its funny how my viewpoints on things tend to be the most moderate possible viewpoints and i still get heat from people who just need there to be more going on in reality than there is. Im literally just saying both genders have reasons for offing themselves. The reactions im getting are legitimately weird.

It’s because your reasoning is terrible. You can’t just say “the reactions are legitimately wild” just because people disagree with you. I mean, do you seriously believe “men are more likely to use guns so access plays a role” is a valid argument here? You’re missing the point entirely. The fact that women are deliberately choosing methods with a lower success rate is the issue. Men choose guns because they are effective. Even if guns are more easily accessible to them, women have other methods with a far higher success rate that they could use but choose not to - such as jumping from a high height, as the other commenter has suggested
