I find it odd that this post has 3 male cutters all from England (I think at least British). I don't know any males in the u.s. who do, I'm sure there is a ton. It makes me wonder if it is something cultural (for lack of a better term)?
Never really thought about it. I don't know more UK males who have self-harmed than UK females. Still, overall rates vary by country, and the gender ratio might do so too.
Wikipedia has a section on the frequency of self-harm around the world (obviously a challenging thing to measure accurately):

And about gender:

I'm from the US and I and a few other male friends that I've had cut. So it's definitely a thing that happens here too.
