Far higher social stigmas and family pressure likely led to fewer deaths being ruled suicide in the 1950s as compared to today but of course there can be no data on this fact, just anecdotes.
Anecdotal and a lack of causation. Saying suicides in women dropped after getting no fault divorce after the 70's is no more a causational fact than saying female suicide rates dropped after the 70's due to Billy Joel releasing his hit single My Life in 1979
Seems legit. That's a pretty inspirational song.
Ikr?
Statistics on women's health from the 50s is probably as reliable as using a Billy Joel song.
Then so would statistics from the 60's and 70's and 80's. You don't like hearing what the actual data is because it doesn't fit with your own predetermined narrative, so it must be the data that's wrong. Sounds a lot like Trump. He only believes the polls that claim people love him.
I guess you really want to believe those were the "good ol days". Go ahead. Just be glad you weren't a women then.
Don't try to defer the discussion or strawman off. I just pointed out that the tweets information is bullshit.
Sure, just pointing out that health stats from the 50s are bullshit.
If you can argue that, you can make the same argument for the 70's.
