I'm curious about attempts of suicide for men vs women.
Is that a similar amount, or is it still weighted?

My understanding is that the attempt rate is fairly similar, but men are more likely to succeed, often because they just shoot themselves instead of trying something less messy. I don't know exactly how they compare, though, and it wouldn't surprise me if there is still a significant difference in attempt rate.

And yet, much like homelessness, most of the available resources are for women victims, shocking nobody.

Most suicide resources aren't really gendered. The issue is more that there's a stigma around men accessing mental health resources in general, because toxic masculinity's a bitch.
