Obviously what ICE is doing is awful, and vasectomies would in some ways be an improvement (although big doubt that they want a reversible birth control procedure). But critiquing what is clearly steps of a genocidal program on whether or not is patriarchal seems to miss the point.
do hysterical and hysterectomy share an etymological root?
I've come to expect my language to be as racist sexist queer-phobic and ablest as possible
Yes, but indirectly. Somehow the Greek word for of the womb eventually became the Latin word for wildly emotional. So in English one comes from Latin but the other from Greek. Basically, as usual, it's the Italians' fault.
in fact hysteria was originally a term for a female-only condition caused by WANDERING WOMB
Yeah, I was fully expecting the etymological line to be more direct because of that, and fully expecting they used to perform hysterectomies to cure "hysteria". But maybe Google's etymology search is playing cover for English sexism.
My analysis: Fuck english
That's my new bandname
Yes. Etymonline.com (which is pretty reliable!) says:
hysteria
nervous disease, 1801, coined in medical Latin as an abstract noun from Greek hystera "womb," from PIE *udtero-, variant of *udero- "abdomen, womb, stomach" (see uterus). Originally defined as a neurotic condition peculiar to women and thought to be caused by a dysfunction of the uterus. With abstract noun ending -ia. General sense of "unhealthy emotion or excitement" is by 1839.
