That's pretty fucking baseless.

Are you serious?
Women are more manipulative than men, they're more emotional and they're better liars. It's not sexism, it's biology. Men are more likely to be physically violent or intimidating, whereas women tend to play with people's emotions and toy with them mentally.
You know what, you're right. Science is wrong and we all just need to accept that the patriarchy is brainwashing us.

You seem to be labouring under the idea that free will is a factor in the "choice" of suicide. Insofar as free will actually exists, depression is the total obviation of it. You aren't in control, the disease is. It takes everything you are and bit by bit, shreds it. You feel parts of your personality fall away as you empty out from the inside. After a while of this you are barely human any more, and you feel it. You feel very little, but you feel that. Food has no taste, joy leaves no mark on you. The delights of life that others will point to to make you want to live are meaningless, because even when you participate in them you don't and can't experience them. Their love and encouragement penetrates you like oil penetrates water.
They aren't even speaking to you any more, they speak to a disease wearing your face. You linger in a state of living death, because the distinction between life and death means very little to you. And your loved ones had better hope you stay that way, because there's a good chance that when that distinction reappears it will be skewed the wrong way.
This is a mere glimpse of what it is to be mentally ill. If you are trying to model such behaviour on the assumption that they can choose and make rational decisions about their own lives then you are necessarily going to reach the wrong conclusions. They are sick. The very parts of your mind that you use to model theirs are the parts that are sick and not functioning properly. They may never function properly again. Mental healthcare is still in its infancy, it's like trying to treat infectious disease in the middle ages.

I actually agree with a lot of what you have said here, at the time I was going through the same thing my friend was so I guess that's what skewed my perception.
