I'd answer yes to most of the other points too.

Females attempt suicide twice as often as males. As with suicide deaths, rates of attempted suicide vary considerably among demographic groups. Males are 4 times more likely than females to die by suicide. The ratio of suicide attempts to suicide death in youth is estimated to be about 25:1, compared to about 4:1 in the elderly.

The higher male suicide rate has nothing to do with discrimination, it's because they're more likely to use a firearm, which is a more effective method.

Well here in germany its the same and firearms are hard to get. And suicide with a firearm is rare. Its just that once a man makes the decision to kill himself he chooses an effective method of suicide.
