Soft Misogyny
Did anyone else catch this particularly poor layout decision in today's New York Times online edition? Nothing like some biting irony to complement one's bitter coffee on a lazy Sunday.
If you're not getting the joke, here's the definition of "hysteria" from the 1913 edition of Webster's dictionary:
A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women, in which the emotional and reflex excitability is exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished, so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into paroxysm or fits.
Women: Capable, but absolutely BONKERS for purses!
