Men Have A Higher Rate Of Dying By Suicide – Chimamanda Adichie Popular Nigerian author and feminist, Chimamanda Adichie, has a theory on why men have a much higher rate of dying by suicide than women. According to the third wave feminist, “Both men and women suffer from the illnesses that lead to suicide but it is men that have a much higher rate of dying by suicide. Why? Because men are socialized to suppress so many human parts of themselves, men are socialized not to ask for help, men are socialized to be afraid of fear, men are socialized not to show vulnerability. “From the moment we tell a little boy that ‘boys don’t cry’ or we tell a hurting teenager to ‘man up’ we are creating an adult man who will be cheated of the full range of his emotions.
