Does Stella know that only women and female With Wombs can be hysterical?
it is from the 1800’s I believe, and was condidered an affliction of the womb that meant women really were not to be considered as anything than overgrown children, prone to moods and fancies, and unable to have rational thoughts.
see also «if a female’s Brain is engaged in rational thinking her womb dries up to dust an crumbles and falls out».
used as points in the campaigns against women’s suffrage.
interesting that a, eh, female/male politician (I don’t know what they is identifying as today!) does not know this.
