Oh Hello There @themostprofessionalgoat - Tumblr Blog

This is important to learn for people like me, who have mental illnesses but can still fit into society and get good grades but it’s a struggle.

It’s okay to ask for help. They shouldn’t be asking this much of you

I really really wish I was a cat, I’m not built for this capatalist society but I am built for sleeping 19 hours a day and knocking things over

I check my pockets as I lock the door behind me.

“I got my keys. My wallet. My phone. My bags. Is that everything?”

I stop. I look up with horror.

The only reason less women commit suicide is because we use less violent and less messy ways to kill ourselves. The only reason I didn’t try to slit my wrist as a teenager was because I didnt want to make anyone clean up the blood. So I tried taking pills instead so it would make the least amount of mess. I had a friend of mine tell me she was going to shoot herself until she saw a movie where the blood was splattered all over the wall and she sobbed telling me how she didnt want to make her mom scrub it off the wall. Even when we want to end our own lives we still think about who we’re going to inconvenience.

Female socialization follows us to our graves.

Thank you for putting this into words!!! I get so frustrated when men try to use this as proof that they “aren’t privileged” (e.g., “if we’re so privileged why do we have higher suicide rates than women?”). Women try to kill themselves more often than men do, though statistics for this are not as well kept as death statistics. But men are more likely to use violent means.

By the way, women are also more likely to have depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more. (The second link there goes into some of the reasons, but one can find more info if they look up “minority stress.”) Yet we are still less likely to die by suicide.

One of the times men are at highest risk is after a divorce, or the death of their spouse. Because the entirety of their social support needs are placed on their spouse. This is why older men are at a high risk especially if they’re widowers, but the risk of older women (who statistically are likely to outlive men), who tend to have more social support, doesn’t increase. But men are afraid of providing or asking for social support with friends because it’s “for women”/”weak” or “gay.”

Also, “it’s more acceptable for women to get help” is not “female privilege.” It’s more acceptable for women to get help because we are already perceived as weak; men fear seeking help because they fear being seen as weak. Patriarchy backfiring on men is not female privilege.

(On a related note, “Men might be at the top of the hierarchy but they’re also at the bottom!! Why else do you think it’s okay for men to die in war but not women?” is bullshit as a counter to feminism for the same reason. Women aren’t drafted and were previously unable to serve in combat because we are considered too weak. Patriarchy backfiring on men is not female privilege.)
