A silent epidemic of male suicide (2011)

I don't know why you would think that poison or hanging are equally available to both genders. In the aggregate, there are significant differences in not only career choices but hobby choices and other aspects of lifestyle. It in no way surprises me this impacts aggregate statistics on methodology.

I posit that many supposed gender differences are rooted in the different life experiences of the sexes:

Why wouldn't you think that? Poison and hanging are equally available but they choose different methods based on life experiences.

That is, they both have a bunch of pills or a rope lying around but that doesn't mean they both choose them.

Either way we've wandered into deep speculation territory. We need more data.

I'm assuming I don't know, which is the truth. I'm also assuming none of y'all do either without building on this study. Assumptions kill in these cases.
