Even when you control for method, men are more successful at suicide than women.
The ratio is just as lopsided with countries with strict gun control (e.g. Britain).
Alternative hypothesis: death is the goal for many men, while women often use suicide attempts as a cry for help.

Agreed. Randomly and anecdotally, I am reminded of Iris Chang, who was a famous author responsible for our knowledge of the Rape of Nanking.
Her cause of death was brutal, and she was going through immense pressure during her last research project. A self-influcted gunshot to the mouth sounds like a horrible way to go.
Most women use pills, men use guns.
