Women’s Space Peer Support Megathread

[Satori Komeiji]

historically, poisoning was the most common method for female suicides through mid‑2010s.
by 2020, firearms surpassed poisoning to become the leading method, followed by suffocation, and then poisoning. Poisoning had been the most common method for women up until around 2015.
But since around 2020, firearms became the leading method, with suffocation overtaking poisoning for second place, and poisoning falling to third and yes men commit more with firearms but I'm trying trying to point out the drastic switch for women's methods because I feel like that says something!
Though then again suicide statistics aren't relatively all that reliable entirely obviously.

Hm, I wonder why that is? Maybe it's just that you can easily figure out online these days that downing a bottle of pills isn't going to kill you? I wonder if gun ownership has gone up in recent years...

It has gone up quite drastically, lemme find it, and yea I think people are getting the idea that dying of drugs ain't gonna cut it and I think it also has to do with changing gender dynamics in a way.
In 2020, women made up an estimated 40% of all first-time gun purchasers in the U.S. .

From January 2019 to April 2021, approximately 3.5 million women became new gun owners—almost half of all first-time buyers during that period .

Although that share dipped slightly in 2021, women still accounted for over 33% of new gun buyers that year.
women were historically underrepresented in firearm ownership. For example:

In 2024, about 25% of U.S. women owned a gun, compared to ~40% of men .

But when it comes to new purchasers, women have accounted for up to half of them in recent years .

They now make up roughly one-third to nearly half of first-time buyers, especially in 2020 when their share peaked.

Female gun ownership overall remains lower than men's—but the pace of growth among women is disproportionately high.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) reported 40% in 2020 and just over 33% in 2021 were women.

"Women comprised 40 percent of first‑time gun purchasers" in 2020, and among new gun owners from 2019–2021, "approximately half were women" .

In 2024, approximately 25% of American women (about 42 million) personally owned a firearm .

Men reported a higher rate at about 40%, showing the gender ownership gap persists, but has narrowed over time .

National averages from Pew and Gallup surveys indicate that overall, about one in three adults (32–33%) own a gun —consistent with the 25% female rate and 40% male rate.

While no full nationwide 2025 survey yet,

Trends from 2023–2024 show steady incremental increases among women.

Moreover, new gun ownership surged during 2020–2023, then modestly tapered into 2024

"The rate of gun ownership among women in America is rising…" bolstered women only clubs and a broader cultural shift.

I don't know how to react I don't fully support it or at least the stereotype about "studs" how so many men hate them and how I can't even speak on it at all even though it was brought up, not trying to argue but come up with a logical reason for the way stereotypes say they act, I just don't like how lesbians are so hated on not the feminine ones because men like those ones but the ones who don't fit stereotypical feminine confines, Always saying shit like "these studs like to act like there tough" all that looks like and feels like to me is a way to again assert dominance,,,

My partner and his brother are over and now there talking about cars and "oh IKEA that's a womenly car" "yea no I wouldn't be seen in that"
Like what the actual fuck,, and god please anyone does anyone experience men at times turning objects into women like cars and in game weapons and tools, it's fucked! But what does my opinion mean, nothing.

Lots of dudes get really uncomfortable if a woman threatens their fragile little masculinity or don't the share sexual attraction he feels towards the woman. I'm not a 'stud' or even a lesbian myself, but I am fairly gender non conforming and it's really obvious they see the masculinity i show as the rejected scraps of what they have. masculinity is perceived as something that must be earned and defended against perceived threats, and so they get all defensive over what is IMO arbitrary.

Thats actually a great way of putting it I might relay this to my partner, unlikely but mabye!

My partner just said they don't acknowledge and try to ignore oppression on women because he's already a "little man"

Do periods just take away authenticity to ones emotions from others because it fucking seems like it, and it always has, and I try very hard to not have to actually say "I'm on my period" an even then I won't say that I'd say "the red River runs" or "I bleed"
