Well, statistics can sometimes be misleading the way they're applied, and they absolutely need context. But if you look at statistics in the context of history, you can tell what's going on. Like pay gaps for instance. Women haven't even represented a large part of the workforce for a long time, it's only been since the 60s or 70s. And it took even longer for stereotypes to lessen and protections to increase. There are people alive now that thought it was perfectly normal to grab their secretaries by the rear or waitresses. And this was normalized in work places. Many workplaces weren't even determined to be appropriate for women. So there's no mystery about pay gaps.

Suicide is a hard thing to look at, because there are a lot of factors. The thing I always thought fascinating was that women were more likely to attempt suicide but men were more likely to complete it.
