This is such bullshit. What happens if she is the one raping? She's excused and guy is still guilty? Moronic.

Your friends make fun of you and tell you to shut up. Ask me how I know.

Or, you bottle it up inside and let it slowly destroy you.

I assume we both know for the same reasons. I'm sorry my dude.

No wonder suicide rates among men are so much higher.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Successful suicide rates are higher, as men tend to use more lethal means (firearms most commonly). Unsuccessful suicide rates among women are higher, as they tend to prefer pills or cutting.

Its the Gender Paradox of Suicide

CDC data demonstrates that men account for over 76% of suicide deaths in the United States each year. The CDC also found that there are 3.3 male suicide deaths for every female suicide death. In contrast, in research studies, women are two to three times more likely to discuss thoughts of suicide than men, and there are approximately three female suicide attempts per every one male suicide attempt.

From what I remember I think globally that’s it is/was closer to (just under) 2:1 on the male v female successful suicides. I also believe that women think about it more and attempt it more often but with less success overall. One giant caveat is that there are many places where “she killed herself” is accepted and never investigated so it’s possible a (large) number of murders are improperly counted as female suicide. (Looking especially at you, “cultures” with “honour” killings)

This is probably beside the point, but is the larger number of attempts by women a result of those attempts usually being unsuccessful? Like is the same woman being counted for 3 different unsuccessful attempts, while a man generally being successful on the first attempt means he's only counted once?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Women have a higher rate of suicidal tendency - depression, malaise, extreme anxiety. This is even outside explicit suicide attempts.

It's a warning not legal advice

[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

If that were the case, different wording would go much further in relaying a message. Something like "Guys, legal system doesn't like you. On average sentences to men are longer to that of a woman. Women don't really need an evidence of rape for you to be sentenced for it and spend decades in jail for crime you didn't do. Child custody is far more frequently awarded to women even if they are the worse choice. Even if you are not the father you might get forced to pay ~~alimony~~ child support until proven otherwise, after which no money will be returned. Masturbate, it's easier and safer." I'd say that's far better warning.

Though replace "alimony" with "child support". Alimony is ex-spouse support and generally involves a longer relationship with the man as the breadwinner.
