<Any ideas on why the Chinese female suicide rate is greater than the male, unlike all the other countries? >
So, here I am a young woman in China, scrubbing out the hutong toilet, looking at the young men on offer, seeing the male-dominated authoritarian state of the place. While I'm sure the young Chinese blokes have something to offer, perhaps it isn't clear just what that is to the young Chinese women. Which is understandable.
Suicide is perhaps a good way out - especially when one is taught from before birth that males are great, and females aren't. Males children are given pre-eminence. Females are second class citizens.
In NZ, it's the reverse. So males in NZ have the usual higher rate through being males, but they are also treated as second class citizens. And, it's a dole-bludging welfare state full of split families, random conceptions, low expectations, low self-worth, gloomy climate and violent tendencies.
