Oh, oh, you said, "hysterical".

Its not a word that women like to hear. Its a word that is seldom applied to men (look up the roots of the word) and women don't usually like to be told they are being hysterical. Its another way of silencing a woman's opinion and denying her emotion.

daylia - Blue cohosh is a nice name and isn't going to offend anyone that I know.
