Crazed hysterics are not necessary and accomplish nothing constructive. There are far too many ideologues on both sides of this discussion poisoning the well for the rest of us.
- steveklabnik 14y agoYou do know that 'hysterics' is specifically a reference to women being irrational, correct? Using a gendered insult isn't really helping your cause, there.
- doktrin 14y agoNit picking at the ancient greek etymology of a word I happened to use illustrates precisely how this discussion has jumped the shark.
- steveklabnik 14y agoIt's not Ancient Greek. The explicit usage is < 200 years ago. Doctors prescribing/performing masturbation to solve perceived rationality issues is.... Yeah. And it's only not explicit now because it was so acceptable that people don't immediately recall the gender.
