>men are also generally more capable of violent acts

Do you have a citation for that claim?

Also, what distinguishes a "violent" method of killing oneself from a "nonviolent" one?

Seriously? How about every war ever started since the beginning of history? Is that enough citation?

A violent method of killing is shooting, hanging, etc. A non violent one is sleeping pills or gassing.

Probably an issue of wording here. I would have said "men are generally more likely to use violent methods of suicide", which is in fact the case. Obviously both genders are capable of violence.
