That is really interesting and relevant.
Unlike what a lot of people might associate with usage of the word
“hysterical”.
So I’m glad you defined it. So any people put off by this term could replace
it
by this relevant definition.
PS: for the rest I still believe it has a sexist history (it comes from the
word for “vagina”) and is more often used against women, so I don’t like its
usage, but won’t ban a word, just comment on its usage (just like rms has been
doing a lot).
