From: “Is This Where I Was Going!”

Sad to say, but most of that is still true.

Hits way too close to the truth!! it's sad to know how hard my mom worked "in the day" to break through the glass ceiling, and yet a generation later and in some ways nothing has changed.

"You're HYSTERICAL."

Applied to a man, it means, "He's funny".

Applied to a woman, it means, "She's crazy".

And the word Hysterical comes from the Greek word "hystera" meaning "womb" due to the belief was that there were certain disturbances in women related to the womb.

And thus, if a woman is acting too crazy, her doctor will almost always suggest she get a hysterectomy which is probably one of the most often performed non-emergency and unnecessary operations in this country.
