Globally 1.8 men kill themselves for every 1 woman. By geographical regions, in Europe the ratio is 4:1 and the Americas it is 3.6:1. The ratio is also particularly skewed in certain former Eastern Bloc (Warsaw Pact) nations and in many of the former Soviet Republics; with Ukraine (7.6:1), Lithuania (7.08:1), Poland (7:1), Georgia (6.4:1) and The Russian Federation (6.4:1) having particularly high ratios, in favor of the men of these countries committing suicide far more often than the women of those countries, as of the latest statistics collected by the World Health Organization of the United Nations in 2016. | Globally 1.8 men kill themselves for every 1 woman.

It is myth that women have more suicide attempts ([https://medium.com/t/@jimpreston_36730/myth-women-attempt-suicide-more-often-than-men-bdded9044517 source]). | |||
Instead, women generally choose less effective methods of suicide, so they end up trying it more often being less successful at it (just like with most other things). | |||
Feminists commonly attribute this to more empathy with their bereaved relatives and friends, but it is more likely once more evidence of women's lower drive to get anything done beyond producing offspring and crying for help. | |||
