So many layers to this, but one of them is he thinks medical science is old enough that the word "womb" is not only a part of the etymology of "woman", but it also has the modern meaning as well. Like even when "womb" gets used in Shakespeare (e.g. in macbeth) I'm pretty sure it's a generic term for abdominal region, like the knowledge of the internal anatomy until the 16th century really only went as far as "lady, you got a baby in your belly".
During Shakespeare's time it was thought that men had vestigial wombs and so could also get a version of hysteria, which is why you'll see male characters occasionally curse their "wandering wombs" (which is what was thought to cause hysteria).
Oh my gott that explains a lot lmfao
