Differences Between Men And Women

A statistic pertaining suicide and gender is that women are more common to attempt suicide; men are more likely to complete suicide (Nelson, Ballas). Females are more likely to talk about their emotions. Sometimes, they may attempt suicide to seek attention or express their emotions. On the other hand, males normally keep all of their feelings on the inside. Because of this, men could be more prone to actually ending their life over seeking attention. The gender issue linked with suicide can result in men and women reacting differently to their emotions, showing how much of a problem it

Over the course of history, men and women have be faced with a communication barrier. The differing communication skills between men and women present challenges that can lead to foreseeable problems in relationships. These problems arise out of differing purposes, styles, traits, and emotions that accompany communication between the two sexes. Unless an understanding is reached, these barriers may never be broken down.

“Sex Differences” is an essay written by a professor of linguistics named Ronald Macaulay. In the essay, he pointed out that there were no gender differences regarding to language development. He talked about various stereotypes about how men and women speak. He also explains in depth about how social environment made an impact on the talking between men and women. He also concluded that those linguists who still believe in that theory only continue to do so even if what they found in their research is not statistically significant. In many ways, Macaulay’s essay is persuasive. Through this essay, one would agree with him that there is no different form of language in which women and men speak.

As part of my research that I conducted, I found out that there were higher rates in female suicide rates compared to male suicide rates. Research has proved this through the Office for National Statistics report by the following statistic; Men aged between 45 and 59 had a higher suicide rate causing more deaths than women in 2014. https://www.ons.gov.uk/. This was men’s suicide rates causing 23.9 deaths per 100000 whereas women’s suicide rates causing 7.3 deaths per 100000. https://www.ons.gov.uk/. The reason for which males had higher suicide rates compared to female suicide rates may be that men may be less likely to seek help and request support. Typically, women are more likely to seek medical advice than men when they are unwell. This may be true for mental health services as well. A man may be less likely to express his emotions due to it not being

People often talk of a battle between the sexes, but women have the last laugh on men when it comes to how long we live. This advantage in lifespan was not always so pronounced, however. An article in realclearscience.com reveals that for men and women born in the early to mid 1800s, the mortality rate of men to women was around 1.2 when looking at the numbers of each who died at age 60. This means 120 men dieing at that age for every 100 women. By the end of the 19th century, however, this mortality ratio had climbed to 1.6 and it was over 2 by through the early 20th century. It is believed that heart disease and smoking together were the main cause of the difference as men were both more likely to smoke and to get heart disease.

Similarly, when the statists for Suicide rates are compared between men and women, it shows men are more likely to commit Suicide compared to women. This could be because women are more likely to cope with stress and anxiety. They are much more comfortable with sharing their problems with others than men. Where as men are likely to feel stressed because they might feel scared to be cast as feminist because they share their worries with others.

Sex and gender play a big part in american society today and are often misconstrued. These two topics have become progressive as people are starting to express their gender and sexuality in ways other than what is and has been considered the norm. Many people believe that sexuality and gender are synonymous with one another. Gender is socially constructed while sex is biologically determined. In society’s past, Americans often strayed away from discussing controversial topics, but with the rise of different ways of addressing people, it is deemed more important to understand. Along with the blurred lines of gender and sex comes sexuality, who someone is attracted to sexually. When people stray from society’s heteronormative mindset, they are often faced with many more challenges than the average hetero man or woman. People often have the preconceived notion that if something does not concern them, then they should not be involved in it. A person who could be your neighbor, co worker, or even child, may have to deal with the troubles of people confusing their gender identity with their sex. While also facing challenges that deal with the sex of the person they choose to love. Learning the difference between gender and sexuality will open the eyes of many people and see how the two are different but relate to one another very much.

The purpose of the 2001 article “Why do men die earlier?” by Bridget Murray-Law was to figure out why men usually don’t take care of their health as well as women, and why they are more likely to dies earlier than women. Their hypothesis was that it was the reason for men dying earlier than women is partially genetics and partially the socialization of the male gender.

Mental illnesses are the primary problems for committing suicide. White men who are middle aged (45-64) are currently since 2015, are the targeted ethnicity, gender, and the age range for the highest percentage to commit suicide. Statistics show that suicide is the tenth leading cause of death, each year 44,193 Americans die by suicide, for every suicide 25 attempt, and suicide has cost the United States 44 billion dollars annual. (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) Men tend to use more violent suicide methods for “The most frequent suicide method in 2014 for males involved the use of firearms 55.4%, while poisoning was the most frequent method for females 34.1%” (Curtin). Which is the reason why women are less successful in

Crimmins, Hayward, Ueda Saito and Kim in there journal article give statistical data on heart disease and death in both women and men (2008). This article states “37 percent of men and 27 percent of women over the age 65 report having a heart condition” (Crimmins et al., 2008). Crimmins research addresses the many differences in men with coronary artery disease compared to women with coronary artery disease. The study noted that men have a higher mortality rate from heart disease than do women (Crimmins et al., 2008). This article also notes that “40-50 percent of postmenopausal women will develop heart disease” (Crimmins et al., 2008). Crimmins and colleges noted men develop heart disease 5 to 10 years earlier in life than do women ( 2008). Evidence suggests that women who are hospitalized for cardiovascular issues are less likely to “receive certain types of drugs and diagnostic and treatment procedures” (Crimmins et al., 2008). Low socio-economic status and poor educational levels also have a marked effect on men and women’s knowledge of cardiovascular disease and the timing of when they seek treatment (Hemingway, 2007).

However, the percentage of women having the illness more likely than men . Experts disagree on the reason for this difference. Some cite differences in hormones, and others point to the stress caused by society’s expectations of women.

Hey Kristian good points! I do agree that men are more likely to commit suicide than women. Society pressures men to be the one that makes the most income and be the most competitive. However when some men cannot do these things, it leads to stress and depression which could lead to suicidal thoughts.

While this may appear contradictory there is a simple explanation behind this fact. As stated earlier, there tends to be more social supports for women than men: men tend to be more isolated. Marriage is a protective factor against suicide for men but not for women (Gold, 2005). This is due to lack of social bonds in men. men in general have only their spouse who acts as a main social support in times of distress. Meanwhile, women have many others to call upon in times of distress. This puts men at a higher risk of suicide since one of their few social support systems will disappear after experiencing relationship

No one would argue the fact that men and women are physically different. The physical differences are rather obvious and most of these can be seen and measured easily. Men, who are essentially built for physical confrontation and the use of force, usually have greater upper body strength, build muscle easily, have thicker skin, and mostly use the left side of their brain. Women on the other hand, have a higher percentage of body fat, and a wider pelvis. Women also have four times as many brain cells connecting the right and left side of their brain. This provides physical evidence that supports the observation that men rely easily and more heavily on their left brain to solve one problem one step at
