Bonus points for using the gendered term 'hysteria' to describe women.
Has everyone forgotten that people have always been offended, and offended about people being offended? "Bloom County" from 1982 used the term "offensensitivity". http://www.gocomics.com/bloomcounty/1982/11/14/ http://www.gocomics.com/bloomcounty/1982/11/14/ .
It's rather like disdainfully calling 20-year-olds "hipsters", forgetting the disdain towards "slackers" of 30 years ago, or the belief that calling people a snowflake is somehow different than the claims that Dr. Spock ruined American youth with his 'permissive' teachings, or the even older cries of woe, like this quote from Life Magazine, March 29, 1949:
> We have reared a bunch of weaklings in our young marrieds of today. Too much has been handed to them on a silver platter without their having had to work for it, and they lack the intestinal fortitude to meet life as a challenge.
