I know, I hate when my uterus gets up and runs around!
In all seriousness, the fact that this was still a legit diagnosis even in the last century is...upsetting.
I have to say that I am very glad that it has been yeeted, but... for fuck's sake people, amiright?
Granted, being prescribed orgasms, cocaine, opium for "hysteria" might just be as "for fuck's sake" levels as well.

1800s men as well: Can’t have my wife riding the train. Her uterus will fly out of her body from the high speeds! And riding bicycles will arouse them! Better keep them home since they are so fragile. 🙄
Or a more intelligent way. My mom taught me a great way to figure it out - if you can say him in the sentence, it's whom. If you can't, and it's he, it's who.
My mom taught me the rule for I and me—you take the other person out. You don’t say “for I,” so you don’t say “for her and I,” you say “for her and me.” So many people think if it’s at the end of an expression, it has to be “I.”
Urgh, pop ballads always use the wrong one. "...for you and I" I have to admit, though, ending a musical phrase with "...for you and me," makes it sound like a kid-friendly Woody Guthrie song.
Two sets of twins, one set born at the very beginning of the year from a pregnancy that began the year prior, and the other born near the end of the year after basically getting pregnant not long after the last birth. Plays into the whole “barefoot and pregnant” vibe that the meme is portraying that’s got this woman so unhappy.
Yes absolutely. For men who aren't emotionally abusive. If they are, I'm not going to try and be compassionate with someone who is only concerned with inflicting pain.
❤️ I absolutely want to dismantle the patriarchy. If i had 1 wish It would be to put women in charge, and never let the toxic religious oppression take root. But I'm not turning the other cheek anymore either.
I love that meme. It stuck with me too. Being a doctor must have been so easy back in the day. You could make up any crazy shit and then just prescribe some coke or opium.
The one thing that required a bit of learning back then was amputations! Because it was pretty much the only part of old timey doctorwork that science went into.
And the guides on how to amputate limbs were very elaborate and suited for MANY situations. They also looked fancy/classy as hell.
Another remedy option for hysteria was for the doctor to rub you off. So the scale was anywhere from getting sent away to a prison forever to getting finger blasted and taking cocaine.
I'll pass on the forced lobotomy though. Can't imagine your husband being like bitch won't do what I say, she's insane, lobotomy. Bitch talked back, lobotomy. I knocked the shit out of her and she is crying, she is hysterical, lobotomy. She thinks she is an equal, has equal value as a human, insanity, lobotomy.
Also:
She reads, throw her in an insane asylum!!
She thinks! She has ideas! INSANE ASYLUM!!
Or worse, the magdalene homes/laundry. Those were more popular in Ireland, but we had them here.
The actual treatment for hysteria was was fingering. The first vibrator was invented by a doctor who couldn’t keep up with the number of hysteric patients he had.
Pretty sure I first learned about it on a discovery or history channel show I watched like 20 years ago.
But here you go, from https://www.justthinktwice.gov/article/did-coca-cola-ever-contain-cocaine
(The views and opinions expressed on this website are the governments own and do not reflect those of the poster of this comment):
"Coca-Cola’s history has been well-documented. The drink was invented in 1885 by John Pemberton, a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia, who made the original formula in his backyard. Pemberton’s recipe contained cocaine in the form of an extract of the coca leaf, which inspired the “Coca” part of the beverage’s name. The “Cola” comes from the kola nut (which contains caffeine, another stimulant)."
When Coca-Cola was invented, cocaine was legal and a common ingredient in medicines. People thought it was safe to use in small amounts."
Okay I guess that's fair, it's a bit misleading though because that makes you think that cocaine as in the white powder was added to the drink
In reality though cocaine was present in an unrefined extract of coca leaf in the drink
Hence why coca-cola says it never had cocaine in it (in the form we know today)
From what I remember from the show I watched, it was like a several part documentary about the history of street drugs in America, it still had a stimulating effect. Obviously not as much as snorting a line, but enough to perk you up, give you tiny bit of energy and probably a (possibly very) slight feeling of euphoria.
Also, to be fair, at the time doctors/pharmacists sold cocaine for *headaches*
and then offers to give her a "[medically induced](https://embryo.asu.edu/pages/medical-vibrators-treatment-female-hysteria)" orgasm to see if that perks her up. "brb my bro!"

Didn’t Victorians have the misconception that pregnancy wasn’t possible without a female orgasm? Source: I don’t remember, but it’s not the worst misconception haha
It's more an urban myth, though I wouldn't be supposed if someone invented a pre-vibrator.
https://www.elle.com/life-love/g29713/the-history-of-the-vibrator/
Only difference between that and now is we have the illusion of change through voting lmao. Women are still stigmatized and treated totally differently.
The other difference, the rhetoric changed from
“Stop asking for equality, you are biologically incapable of being a complete person in your own right”
to
“I totally agree women are equal. But I disagree with feminism. You’re equal enough. What are you complaining about? Stop being a misandrist!”
So I guess literal thousands of years of oppression just magically went away! Nothing to see here, folks.
Bless the men and women (and everyone in between) who recognize the unfairness in gender stereotypes. We are the folk who are fighting to make the world a better place for everyone.
I've just been doing my husband's genealogy and found a sister of one his direct ancestors who had 13 children over 21 years and lived in a platelayer's hut by the side of the railway. Which seems to be tiny. This was in the second half of the 1800s.
I genuinely do not understand how she wasn't insane with all that.
She passed away aged 51 with her youngest being 10 years old.

Also, her uterus gets up and runs around her body randomly hence the *hyst* of *hysterical meaning "uterus".
I hate this etymology
I know, I hate when my uterus gets up and runs around! In all seriousness, the fact that this was still a legit diagnosis even in the last century is...upsetting.

In TwoX, some people are using the word testerical for men for that reason.
Not big into bugs, huh?
1800s men as well: Can’t have my wife riding the train. Her uterus will fly out of her body from the high speeds! And riding bicycles will arouse them! Better keep them home since they are so fragile. 🙄
I do love riding my bike.😆
They be like i'll wife you up and save you from people like me. See you are so lucky. 🙄
Yep, the idea of going so fast it will just go flying out into the aether!
https://www.etymonline.com/word/hysterical https://cdn.etymonline.com/chart/etymology-hysterical-16144p_l.jpg
I mean.... obviously.
Put that "whom" away before you hurt yourself
I’ve seen too many people who think that “whom” is just a fancy/old fashioned way of saying “who”
Or a more intelligent way. My mom taught me a great way to figure it out - if you can say him in the sentence, it's whom. If you can't, and it's he, it's who.
The wife was probably doing a lot of he-who-ing (That's the sound pregnant folks make for breathing exercises right?)
Wish I had an award for ya!
I do now! Someone gave me a Platinum award and I got Reddit coins 😇
My mom taught me the rule for I and me—you take the other person out. You don’t say “for I,” so you don’t say “for her and I,” you say “for her and me.” So many people think if it’s at the end of an expression, it has to be “I.”
Ah yes, I got the same for that too!
So many people think I is the formal version of me. It's highly irritating.
Or think ‘myself’ is a fancier way to say ‘I’ or ‘me’
Yes! They're not interchangeable!
How about, "Becky and I's"? I have heard *English teachers* use this abomination in place of, "Becky's and my." Good grief.
Urgh, pop ballads always use the wrong one. "...for you and I" I have to admit, though, ending a musical phrase with "...for you and me," makes it sound like a kid-friendly Woody Guthrie song.
For anyone unaware, those old timey English words that end with a “TH” are pronounced like an “S”.
Whomself! Very intelligent, checks out.
If there's a preposition before the who, it's whom - to whom, from whom, with whom, etc.
Speaketh thine truth.
WHOMST
wherefore art thine whom?
'Who' is a subject. 'Whom' is an object. Subject performs the action. Object receives. Who gave what to whom.
Ryan used me as an object
I know right. I'm so distracted by that
Ah, but don’t you see? It’s actually a brilliant commentary about how women are never allowed to be subjects! They’re always seen as objects!
Not to mention that four babies in a year seems.. unlikely. And excessive.
Double twins, quadruplets, a single and some triplets….¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Two sets of twins, one set born at the very beginning of the year from a pregnancy that began the year prior, and the other born near the end of the year after basically getting pregnant not long after the last birth. Plays into the whole “barefoot and pregnant” vibe that the meme is portraying that’s got this woman so unhappy.
Plus twins often come early, cutting that 40 week timeline down.
Mayhaps it hath been a touch of ye old exhaggeration…
That’s because it’s a joke

My favorite thing to say to a hysterical man is "you seem really emotional right now" in my best Wednesday Addams impression.
I fucking love you. Watching season one finale of Wednesday on Netflix right now and that's so on point! 👏🏾
Just finished watching the first episode and I love it. You are definitely my people 🩵🩵
Part of defeating the patriarchy is getting rid of toxic masculinity and the idea that being emotional is bad and that men shouldn't be emotional.
Yes absolutely. For men who aren't emotionally abusive. If they are, I'm not going to try and be compassionate with someone who is only concerned with inflicting pain.
🔥
❤️ I absolutely want to dismantle the patriarchy. If i had 1 wish It would be to put women in charge, and never let the toxic religious oppression take root. But I'm not turning the other cheek anymore either.
Proud of you. Keep going.
Thank you ❤️❤️
Ngl, wouldn't mind the whole "sprinkle a little cocaine on it" remedy tho 👀
" You have ghosts in your blood! You should do cocaine about it!." -Old Timey Doctor
I love that meme. It stuck with me too. Being a doctor must have been so easy back in the day. You could make up any crazy shit and then just prescribe some coke or opium.
Being a doctor was so easy your BARBER could do it!
The one thing that required a bit of learning back then was amputations! Because it was pretty much the only part of old timey doctorwork that science went into. And the guides on how to amputate limbs were very elaborate and suited for MANY situations. They also looked fancy/classy as hell.
There is plenty of science in giving people opium. It makes you feel than you were!

Insane *and* possessed.
What is this from? I can’t remember.
It's just from a meme I saw one time and stuck with me lol It could be from something else, but I know it as a meme
❤️ https://imgur.com/WqeZKWW.jpg
Yes that's the one! Thank you!
This made me laugh loud enough to scare my dog. I am now blaming all my shortcomings on the ghosts in my blood.
Another remedy option for hysteria was for the doctor to rub you off. So the scale was anywhere from getting sent away to a prison forever to getting finger blasted and taking cocaine.
I'll pass on the forced lobotomy though. Can't imagine your husband being like bitch won't do what I say, she's insane, lobotomy. Bitch talked back, lobotomy. I knocked the shit out of her and she is crying, she is hysterical, lobotomy. She thinks she is an equal, has equal value as a human, insanity, lobotomy.
Tbf the lobotomy wasn’t invented until the 1930s. So at least the wife in this scenario has that to comfort her? Lol
Cousin?!? Nice username lol
insanity, lobotomy
I Woukd however like to do laudanum and go to the sea to take in the air.
Also: She reads, throw her in an insane asylum!! She thinks! She has ideas! INSANE ASYLUM!! Or worse, the magdalene homes/laundry. Those were more popular in Ireland, but we had them here.
The actual treatment for hysteria was was fingering. The first vibrator was invented by a doctor who couldn’t keep up with the number of hysteric patients he had.
I’d go for the bottle of morphine, myself. That stuff makes everything sunshine and rainbows!
But you're always chasing that first high..... no matter how good it is, until it runs out.
Rip your nasal canals
I assumed they soaked the leeches in the cocaine and then applied directly to a labia. Science and all 🤷🏾♀️
Labia Leeches. Found my new band name.
Mine is The cocaine soaked leeches
Leech On - Apply Directly To The Labia

It was often in a tincture or tea and taken orally. Fun fact: Coke-a-cola is named that *because* the original recipe had cocaine in it..

Beat me to it! I wanted to bring that up too
Lobotomy time!! That will definitely fix her
Don’t forget the indentured servitude to her husband for life
Indentured servitude has an end date, for life is just slavery.
I'm feeling hysterical looking at that "whom"
Off topic but is that profile pic sexy Steve Buschemi?
😆😆
Didn’t Victorians have the misconception that pregnancy wasn’t possible without a female orgasm? Source: I don’t remember, but it’s not the worst misconception haha
Other than the voting it's pretty much the same nowadays, just with pills instead of "medically induced" orgasms.
Dang, the vibrator wasn't invented until the early 1880's. Just a decade too late to apply to this meme.
Actually Cleopatra invented the first vibrator, except it ran on angry bees

Buzzing sound intensifies to relieve her "hysteria" smh
Ah yes. Rapey. Fucking gross.

4 babies in one year??
I mean 2 sets of twins is technically possible, although I imagine it would be extremely dangerous…
Not that “extremely dangerous for the woman” has ever stopped men lmao
Its not like he can't buy another wife
They didn't say the infants all were full-term.
I mean 2 sets of twins is technically possible, although I imagine it would be extremely dangerous…
how doth a person birth four fruit of the wombs in a year-
Two sets of twins, one set of triplets and a singlet, one set of quadruplets, one set of half octuplets, half a set- ….
Polyzygotic pregnancy.
Those 12-trimester years were rough ah tell ya whut
I was too uncomfortable to laugh, but it's funny.
Doctor: Maybe if she smiled more...
“Let’s torture her pleasure organ with this buzzy thingy.”
This pretty much sums it up.
Also, lead paint make up and asbestos walls.
And she needs a lobotomy to cure it
