What part do you actually disagree with?
If you have two persons with the same body mass, both of them drink 1 liter of whiskey. I bet in one case it will be 'really bad hangover' and in second case it will be 'suicide attempt'.

Men are 95% of homeless, 90% of prisoners, 95% workplace deaths, 80% suicides...
In second case:
I went unnecessary offensive, call it "most women cry for help" whatever.
The fact is that people who are at risk of suicidal behavior are equally distributed between genders [1]. Also mental illnesses such as schizophrenia are equally distributed [wikipedia].
So I see two options why women have much higher suicidal attempt rate:
- it is a cry for help
- men suicide attempts are under reported
