…but in light of recent discussions I thought I’d have a quick look for some feminism to erm ‘get my teeth into’.

First thing I found – the feminisation of mental illness. OK, sounds interesting, off we go.

Start off with etymology – hysteria – fair enough, translates to an illness of the womb. Good start.

Second sexist word –

loony. Coming from lunacy – a monthly periodic insanity, believed to be triggered by the moon’s cycle (remind you of anything?). [/

Hmmm

When will the bells end?

As opposed to idiocy, which is being insane on EVERY day of the month 😉

I’m really sorry…

You are forgiven for posting in the bike section.

Have you found the stash of Christmas beer and got stuck in? 😉

Hopefully some kind mod can move it to its rightful place!

That had occurred to me rubber features…

Re lunacy, there’s a link between the full moon and all sorts of odd behaviour – in men… I’d dispute that one.

There are people writing crap all over the internet, some of them are women, some of them are writing crap about feminism, and some are probably wrong 🙂

Folk etymology is a pet hate of mine.
