The word hysteria
03.27.04 (8:10 pm)   [edit]
Here's a did ya know.

The word hysteria comes from the root word hyster, which if you haven't picked up on it yet means uterus. That's right. The word hysteria and hysterical was derived from a thought that an emotionally out of control state or mind resulted from having a uterus.

Go figure. I know no one's really surprised.

Haha. It is just a term used because at one time some men thought women were crazy just because they were women. Am I surprised at that? Not really. There are always men who like to dismiss women that way. :P
