Those who dare to talk about »hysteria« will quickly be accused of characterizing all women as irrational.

In fact, »hysteria« has been renamed in psychiatry, and the new label (»histrionic personality disorder«) tends to be diagnosed more often in female patients. Other mental disorders, such as Borderline personality disorder and issues with social bonding, are also more prevalent in women. Men, however, are more likely to have autism, schizophrenia, etc.

How is this possible?
I don't know, honestly. Explanations range from underdiagnosis to overdiagnosis, to mental sex differences and everything in between.

I agree that it is unfair and biased to dismiss women's criticism by labeling them as overly emotional or even mentally ill. Some writers and orators have done this, especially with respect to feminism.
Hysteria is real. Very real. It's possible that some people's lives have been destroyed by it, whether through witch hunts by the conservative crowd or by the woke one who canceling others over symbols or things they said years ago. Feminist hysteria, too, has destroyed the lives of a few people in the past.
