What's a non-misogynistic equivalent for 'hysterical'

(Anonymous) 2013-10-06 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
The exact implications outside the sexist angle make it such a perfect word to use in so many situations, but it's tainted.

You are persistent, I will give you that. Just use hysterical. I guarantee 90% of people don't think it has an idiotic sexist angles. Believe it or not, most people don't know Latin or the history of certain words.

I know Latin and I know the history of the word, but it's the first time it occurred to me that somebody might consider it sexist =_=

Also, now that I think of it, SJWs can also interpret it as ableist... god why

Interesting!

It might work. Only downside is a suggests slightly more dangerous, and a complete lack of sanity, rather than being completely melodramatic+ridiculous.

You it's legit a disappointment that we've taken this long to notice, but there really isn't a good feminist friendly term for it. That's kinda not right.

Personally, from now on, I'm going to go with dicksterical.

lol. You get right on that. People will look at you like you are so stupid. Wait. Actually get all your friends using it, so we all know who to avoid.

It's "hysterical."

[personal profile] chardmonster 2013-10-06 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Most of our languages have sexist baggage, that's just how it is. Language grows out of culture. But you can't change the culture just by using certain words, especially since most people don't even know the roots of the word "hysterical" until someone yells at them for being sexist?

That or learn Esperanto. I dare you to just start using Esperanto.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-06 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
So I assume you are in favour of using the words Nigger and Faggot? Not as an insult but in the more modern context you see it used in various songs/online image bords, right?

After all most of our languages has baggage, that's just how it is. Language grows out of culture. But you can't change the culture just by using certain words.

So by that token, it's perfectly acceptable for those very white kids who use the word nigga and fag as terms of endearment. They should be encouraged, right? because they're helping to bury the old meaning of the word, right?

"Hysterical" might be far worst than most, as its misogynist history derives not from some obscure latinate etymology, but rather the very real gaslighting women faced at the hands of psychologists from the 19th and even 20th goddamned centuries.

Worse, it's 100% intended as a misogynist slur, rather than a generic one, when many people aware of said historical context (especially MRAs) use it.

I've never used the word "hysterical" in the negative, freaking-out sense. Why say "they're getting hysterical about it" when you could say "they're freaking out?"

I've always used it to refer to something really really funny.

Depends on context. The word can be used for someone freaking out or for commenting on hilarious or funny things.

Can't think for a non-mysogynistic synonym on English, sorry.

In Spanish, "histérico/ca" ALWAYS have negative connotations. There's no such thing as "that joke was hysterical!" (as in "really fukcing funny"). It's used as in "Wow, watch out, she's getting hysterical again" (as in "really disproportionately angry and throwing a tantrum").

Believe it or not, overly dedicated SJW who needs to work on priorities, the meanings of words can change and are not necessarily misogynistic/racist/whathaveyou forever and ever more.

Just use hysterical

On what you’re using it for. Distraught and overwrought would work in some instances. Panic-stricken would be best in others. Frantic or frenzied might be what you are looking for. Raving or maddened could work well for some circumstances. And then there is freaking out.
