If you’re having trouble understanding what this map means, it means that the suicide rate for men is higher than for women everywhere, notably 5 to 6 times higher in Eastern Europe and Russia, and 8 times higher in a couple of Central American countries and West Africa.

I wonder what makes men the world over decide that suicide is the best option.

Men are overly hormonal. Domestic abuse, war, homicide… They should take a more logical stance instead of being a slave to their feelings.

You’re saying that men should sever their feelings? How is that even possible? What do you feel like is the right way to do that?

Its a joke. The point is that women are often being told that they are too emotional (as opposed to the very logical men), even though men are often the ones with violent outbursts.

Considering various social taboos around suicide, I’m not sure how reliable such data is.

Could you elaborate on what angle you’re coming from? It’s a trend on worldwide scale, social taboos can hardly be a reason for much inaccuracy.

I’m not talking about the general trend of more men committing suicide than women. I just think that the specific ratios for different countries might not be that accurate.

Counting corpses is pretty reliable, objective data.
