Re: It's "hysterical."

[(Anonymous)]

Gas Light, the play:

Movie version:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslight_%281944_film%29

Gaslighting as psychological abuse:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting

The play is basically about a guy who is up to no good. In order to prevent his wife from getting suspicious and alerting the authorities, he tries to make her believe she is going insane by insisting the strange things she notices are not really happening. Calling someone "hysterical" can be a form of gaslighting in that historically people have thrown the term at women to dismiss any of their concerns or complaints as the product of a disturbed mind or a weak, female sensibility and not legitimate issues that ought to be addressed.
