Let Italian men live 28 9, 1:18pm

'@katansi' "Nope, you're so knowledgable about suicide you can dig that crap up on your own."
And it's easy to see why. Looking no further than wikipedia:
"Researchers have attributed the difference between attempted and completed suicides among the sexes to males using more lethal means to end their lives.[6][10][11]

But wait, there's more!
"However, separating intentional suicide attempts, from non-suicidal self-harm, is not currently done in the United States, when gathering statistics at the national level"

Thought so.
Meanwhile males in Russian prisons, pretrial detention or military manage to successfully kill themselves despite having no access to firearms or, in former two cases, blades. A girl I had distant acquaintance with was serious about it and took the noose, succeeded at first attempt. A male friend of mine tried drowning, failed, tried roof, was stopped by rarest of luck and is in therapy ever since. Girls who shown off multiple scars across their wrists a decade ago still update their blogs.
I have a plan since I was 23, and bottle of inert gas is non-violent as it gets, should work like a treat if things ever get as bad as then. Intent matters.

"So you think that the fight for the draft should outrank say fighting for the right to vote in some countries"
Women in US already have the right to vote, as long as those listed after it. Still, when it comes to draft in US it's *crickets*.

"That was brilliant troll work."
No, it's search for consistency.

"I forgot that after a child comes out of a vagina it's totally not a thing men can even participate in 50/50"
So when 90/10 male/female team writes an operating system, women already have no trouble participating in it's use in at 50/50 ratio. But yeah, somehow there is a push for tokenism even in open source software development.

"What? How does marital rape being legal have anything to do with a lowered birthrate? Are you high?"
"Discussing country by country is fine but all you get is that more gender inequality means worse for men and women in all facets of life"
Greater access to education, high-paying jobs and general focus on careers for women correlate with decrease in birth rate. I thought it was basic knowledge, and you specifically used words "gender inequality" and "all facets".

"Because researching would be reading and not talking"
"you're so knowledgable about suicide you can dig that crap up on your own"
Those two quotes work really well together.
