Some cultures distinguish two or more types of suicide which are evaluated differently. The more acceptable or esteemed ones are often not equally accessible to everyone within the same society. This article focuses on gender differences in the cultural construction of suicide options, and on the exclusion of women from superior options. The analysis is based on ethnographic and historical data from Native Americans of the Great Plains, Muslim societies in Southeast Asia, and tribal societies in the Amazon area of South America.
一些文化区分出两种或更多类型的自杀，且对它们的评价有所不同。更易被接受或更受推崇的自杀类型在同一社会中的每个人获得的机会往往并不均等。本文着重探讨自杀方式文化建构中的性别差异，以及女性被排除在更高级自杀方式之外的情况。分析基于来自大平原地区的美洲原住民、东南亚穆斯林社会以及南美洲亚马逊地区部落社会的人种志和历史数据。
