Rate Per
Number Per Day 100,000 % of Deaths
Total ………….30,622……….83.9………10.8……….1.3
Males ………….24,672……….67.6………17.6……….2.1
Females………….5,950……….16.3……….4.1……….0.5

This is taken directly from their page and all I did was omit the extra statistics to show just men, and just women. Now taking into account the fact that a bisexual, according to a recent study that I remember being published, will have a 3 times greater chance of committing suicide. This does make Males, let alone bisexual males, a endangered number in far greater quantities than any group of women. The death rate above in simplest ratio is 4:1…4 men to every woman. And with the statistics now showing that quite possible the BLGT group may be making up the lions share of this death toll then it is quite frightening.

But as I said before, the women of our community ARE getting the greater attention despite being outnumbered in that are by an overwhelming magnitude.

When you add in that men are the lions share of the wartime deaths historically…99.999%

94% of Industrial Death(NIOSH), are the overwhelming victims of Rape(http://tpj.sagepub.com/content/69/2/39.extract),

Of the top fifteen leading causes of death, men lead in 12 categories, are tied in two and trail in one. Even though more women die of heart disease each year, men die of heart disease many years earlier.

And to finish all that up, men are expected to just accept this as their due regardless of their sexuality or station, and we end up with men feeling marginalized across the board. So I look to this study and I look to the numbers and I say,”Adrienne…what feels untrue is simply something you have not yet seen, and I know you’re a caring and empathic woman. Please believe me, a survivor of female rape and molestation. I do not want to be harsh in my presentation, but this is the truth.”

I would not tell you all this I had some hope that this would open the discourse as to why we feel we have to suck it up and hide, and accept marginalization as well as to self marginalize as we’re taught to do for the betterment of society.

If you don’t believe me, believe a bisexual mother of 2 boys and a girl on youtube…

I hope this will be printed…I hope you will let me remain a member here. In the past uncovering this information usually gets people tossed out on the coal heap and lit ablaze.

The website I moderate for also had people telling us there were more worthy causes to donate to; that’s an argument that can be made for loads and loads of things, which I think people need to realize. I wouldn’t assume that one person who doesn’t like Bi Social Network is necessarily speaking for most people or even a lot of people. It’s unfortunate, but a lot of the time people are more vocal about things they don’t like than things they do like.
