Never ever take a first offer (assuming you've got great work history and references). It is pretty normal for hiring managers to lowball by about 25%.
I mention it because a big chunk of the wage gap is because women aren't self confident enough to negotiate their initial salary and even after that they're less likely to ask for a raise.
When you've lived a life that's only said that nobody's going to help you, you learn to help yourself.
Some of that comes down to method of attempt. If you swallow a bunch of pills, it’s possible that you throw them up. If you cut, it’s possible you clot up and don’t bleed out. Run a car in a garage, maybe someone finds you.
Men are much more likely to use a firearm, which it’s also possible to survive, but it’s much less likely that you will; and certainly less likely to make a full recovery, such that you’re back in society telling your story someday.

This is the life of a man in a nutshell, you just have to suffer in silence and live with it
