Re: It's "hysterical."

[chardmonster]

I realize this, but it's become separated from the original meaning simply because most people don't realize the source. It's much different from a lot of misogynist language in that way; people have no idea what "hyst" means and don't know until they're being yelled at for it. However, I disagree with this:

it's 100% intended as a misogynist slur

No--it's a misogynist medical term. A lot of people legitimately believed women were sometimes nuts for ladyreasons. It's important to remember that these messed up views were held in earnest and not meant to be mean.

It's difficult to accuse people of gaslighting when the gaslighters legitimately believe you are crazy and are trying to help.

(ari who cant log in from her mobile)'intended as' by the mras and misogynists of today, not the psychiatrists of yesteryear. no one is suggesting that you have a wandering womb when they call you typical hysterical woman for not agreeing them about the pay gap on reddit and suggesting you go see someone for treatment with a vibrator. theyre using the context that word maintains to suggest that you like all women are biologically hardwired for irrationality.

I know, I know. You're right.

I'm a historian. I'm stuck over in my corner by the bookcase yelling at phantom freshmen about cultural context. Sorry. : p

I have nooo idea what hyst is, so pop me on that line

Re: It's "hysterical."

[chardmonster]

I meant the prefix "hyst" or "hist," meaning having to do with the female body parts.

So a "hysterectomy" is the removal of a woman's uterus and ovaries, for example.
