Australian columnist slammed by Feminists for using the word "hysterical"

The link follows to a woman who "called him out" on using the word in the first place but Australian feminism (which is quite ingrained as it is) has one last arrow in their quiver; shaming men choice of words. As ludicrous as this entire affair was, it generated a bunch of noise over the use of one word in a lengthy critique of an anti-porn "feminist."

this seems to all be about a someone using the term "hysterical" and the offendees internally associate misogyny to the word. Men are quite capable of being hysterical, and I wish someone had said that (on second thought, I bet someone had and the author decided to selectively exclude that tweet).

I wish the tweets had timestamps so I could see how soon the first "Your long history of white male privilege is totally blinding you here" was said.

How ironic, 700 hysterical responses, from a hysterical woman. Must be misogyny, not reality.

Sorry, i refuse to read anything with so many @ symbols. That's why I shun twitter. Have an upvote though anyway.

Am I the only one that keeps thinking about the author's intent versus the projected and inferred intent? What did the author mean by saying blue curtain? The curtain is fucking blue.

The author chose the word that best matched the intent of his point.

@mikeb476: @juzzytribune Calling a woman “hysterical” b/c she’s too angry for you is like calling a woman “slut” b/c you think she’s too promiscuous

And?

The article is just a typical feminist/mangina attempt to censure free speech.

EDIT: spelling

"Hysterical" and "Screetching" are great words to use in debates with women.

Hysterical comes from the root word "hyster" meaning "uterus." It used to be an actual scientific concept where getting upset meant you either had a uterus that was acting up, or you were acting like a woman. Either way really offensive.
