9	->''"I have heard that hysterical women say''
10	->''They are sick of the palette and fiddle-bow,''
11	->''Of poets that are always gay."''
12	-->-- '''Creator/WilliamButlerYeats''', ''"Lapis Lazuli"''
13
14	This trope characterizes women as [[WomenAreDelicate less rational, disciplined, and emotionally stable than men]], and thus more prone to [[MoodSwinger mood swings]], irrational overreactions, and mental illness.[[note]]The ancient Greeks believed that a woman's uterus would move out of place and attack other organs, causing all sorts of maladies, both mental and physical. The trope name comes from the Greek word ''hysteros'', womb or uterus. Which, incidentally, is why the removal of the womb is called a "hysterectomy."[[/note]] As a result, female characters may [[StayInTheKitchen be coddled]], their opinions undervalued, or [[UnstablePoweredWoman portrayed as incapable of holding power]].
15
16	Not to worry. Such hysteria is easily cured with a [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan good slap on the face.]]
17
18	A blatant DoubleStandard, it was used and invoked quite freely in older works. These days it is [[DiscreditedTrope rarely invoked]], as most people are aware of the obvious UnfortunateImplications. Despite that it's still more common to portray female characters becoming emotionally overwrought when under stress or behaving more irrationally than men, even when it would be out-of-character. Male characters like this are likely to be [[DirtyCoward unsympathetic]] or [[LovableCoward comedic]]. An [[{{Jerkass}} insensitive male character]] may ask, [[AllPeriodsArePMS "Are you on your period?"]] or something on those lines.
19
20	This trope is also why lead characters in horror movies tend to be female, although given the nature of the genre, many such characters are portrayed more sympathetically, being ProperlyParanoid while the men who denigrate them for being emotional are portrayed as either TooDumbToLive, [[YouHaveToBelieveMe obstructively condescending]], or outright antagonistic. She's called the FinalGirl for a reason, after all.
21
22	Can also be invoked by female characters as a defense mechanism against criticism, when they recognize they are being irrational or sense the mounting frustration of other characters. For example "Sorry, I must be [=PMSing=], that was unnecessarily rude". This is generally a sign of insecurity and perhaps repressed trauma. This is the way you'll more often see the trope used in the modern day. While she doesn't really expect the other characters to believe in her excuse: it is still a socially acceptable one.
23
24	This trope can also be subverted by a female character who only pretends to be hysterical. If she's TheSocialExpert, she may use it to gain immediate sympathy and help from other people. If she has a SecretIdentity or is BruceWayneHeldHostage, she may fake being hysterical to keep anyone from suspecting her other persona.
25
26	Compare TheOphelia which is about genuine insanity; UnstablePoweredWoman where emotions and other female hysteria result in a powerful, but incompetent and unstable woman. Often prone to InelegantBlubbering. May involve [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan Get a Hold of Yourself, Woman!]] to correct. Compare ScreamingWoman and AllPeriodsArePMS (for when the character's reaction is dismissed as hormones acting up). For situations when those hormones were thought to have supernatural implications, see MenstrualMenace. See also AllWomenAreLustful, for when her "irrationality" was thought to make her [[SexIsEvil morally weaker]]. Also see {{Hypochondria}}, for when her "irrationality" was thought to make her believe she's sick when she's not, or make up a sickness for attention. Contrast WomenAreWiser (where women are depicted as ''more'' rational and emotionally stable than men) and EmotionlessGirl.
27
28	This trope is a type of StrawmanEmotional and often the outcome of a GenderIncompetence scenario.

34	[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
35	* Justified and deconstructed in ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'', as it highlights another consequence of Casca's [[spoiler: rape trauma]] after the eclipse. Casca was mentally traumatized to the point where she was reduced to an infantile, almost animalistic state of mind. Therefore, Casca really has no logical drive and relies on her instincts to protect herself, so when someone poses a threat to her, she reacts violently. After Guts [[spoiler:[[NearRapeExperience almost rapes her but ends up biting her instead]], Casca's natural reaction is to stay far away from him at any means necessary (even jumping off a ledge) and to growl whenever he comes into her vicinity. This has taken its emotional toll on Guts, who is truly ashamed at what he did to her but desperately yearns for her emotional and physical affection. Making the situation worse, his nasty EnemyWithin ''wants'' Guts to rape and kill her]]. However, some characters like [[GreenEyedMonster Farnese]] don't understand the extent of Casca's condition or backstory and think that her current behavior toward Guts is idiotic, irrational, and selfish.
36	* ''Anime/LaSeineNoHoshi'': Madame Catherine. She had an inferiority complex to Marie Antoinette and always tries to upstage her to no avail. One day, after Marie Antoinette gets all the attention at the MasqueradeBall, Catherine orders her men to find the owners of the flower shop that supplied her dress with beautiful roses...[[DisproportionateRetribution and ''kill'' them]]. In doing so, Catherine unwittingly sets off Simone to become La Seine No Hoshi, a masked vigilante who opposes the French elite and puts the needs of the citizenry first.
37	* A sympathetic variant occurs in ''Anime/LucyMayOfTheSouthernRainbow'' in the form of Sylvia Princeton. When her daughter, Emily, was two, she died. Sylvia and her husband Frank have been mourning her ever since, especially as they can't have any more children. One day, Frank's carriage hits a 7 year old girl, causing her to pass out. Frank is so grief-stricken he takes her to his estate and has the family doctor tends to her wounds. When the girl wakes up, she becomes amnesiac, so Frank allows her to live and work in the Princeton's mansion. Sylvia sees Emily in the girl, starts calling her "Emily" and offers to adopt her. However, once the girl recovers from her memory loss, she remembers her name is Lucy-May and she already has a family - the Popples. Upon hearing this Sylvia starts crying and begs Lucy-May to stay with them.
38	* Some argue this trope is why there are no magical boys in the world of ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. [[spoiler:The MagicalGirl system is revealed to be an alien plot to harvest the boundless energy of highly emotional teenage girls in order to stave off the heat death of the universe. Not targeting boys for the same purpose would have little justification if they didn't assume girls were inherently more hysterical. However, that can also simply mean girls' emotions are inherently deeper than boys' emotions.]]
39	[[/folder]]
40
41	[[folder:Comic Books]]
42	* ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan1963:'' Gwen Stacy under Stan Lee's pen had a tendency to go to extremes super-fast, especially where Peter and / or Spider-Man were involved, a fact her friend Mary-Jane was all too keen to snark at her about. It also caused drama for Peter, as Gwen's over-the-top reactions often made a pretty solid case for not telling her he was Spidey.
43
44	[[/folder]]
45
46	[[folder: Fan Works]]
47
48	* ''FanFic/ARabbitAmongWolves'': Lisa Lavender shrieks in terror when [[spoiler: she finds herself surrounded by White Fang soldiers]]. [[JustifiedTrope Considering Adam's reputation for brutality, who could blame her]].
49
50	[[/folder]]
51
52	[[folder:Film]]
53	* The ''Airplane'' duology:
54	** This trope is hilariously spoofed in ''Film/{{Airplane}}'', with a long line of passengers [[RightOnQueue lining up]] to [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan slap the hysterical woman]], with increasingly lethal weapons.
55	** The gag is recycled in ''Film/AirplaneIITheSequel'' when the same woman testifies on [[TheHero Ted Stryker's]] behalf in a KangarooCourt -- the memory of her hysterics sends her into a fresh episode of hysterics, which prompts the members of the court to line up to beat it out of her.
56	* ''Film/Airport77'' where Creator/LeeGrant, hysterical following her husband's death, attempts to open the plane door while it's submerged in the ocean. However, she is stopped by the flight attendant who is also female, so it could be considered a one off. The Airport series, itself, actually had many female characters who remained in control and were instrumental in resolving the crises. There were also cases of panicking men, as well.
57	* Lambert (Creator/VeronicaCartwright) in ''Film/{{Alien}}''. She's by far the most terrified and emotional member of the crew, and [[spoiler:completely freezes up when the Alien confronts her.]] She serves a {{foil}} to the other female member of the crew, the no-nonsense [[FinalGirl Ripley]]. This is an interesting case, however, because the characters were written such that any of them could have been played by a man or a woman, until they were cast.
58	* In ''Film/BlueJasmine'', this is the essential character trope of the lead character who becomes more and more emotionally unstable until the end [[spoiler:when she is reduced to a homeless tramp babbling to herself about her troubles]].
59	* The maid Minnie in ''Film/BrideOfFrankenstein'' is quick to scream and flail at surprising things.
60	* In ''Film/{{Clue}}'', Mrs. Peacock freaks out when, after thinking she drank poison, she starts screaming. Mr. Green delivers a slap. Later, when Wadsworth is recreating the events, he uses Mr. Green instead.
61	-->'''Mr. Green:''' Well, I had to stop her screaming!
62	** [[spoiler: She's ObfuscatingInsanity, at least in one of the MultipleEndings.]]
63	* In the ActionPrologue of ''Film/TheFlash2023'', a nurse trapped in a maternity ward goes flying out the window along with all the babies when the entire hospital wing collapses. Flash uses his SuperSpeed to save everyone, but the nurse would rather go into hysterics than say "Thank you" (unsurprisingly, given that from her perspective it's only been a couple of seconds since she and her charges were falling to their deaths). Flash hands her one of the rescued babies to focus on so she can calm down.
64	* In ''Film/TheFugitive'', as the US Marshals conduct a raid on a home looking for an escaped prisoner, his girlfriend begins shrieking and screaming. She stops briefly when he's shot, then starts up again almost immediately, leaving the unsympathetic, fed-up Gerard to point his gun at her and snap at her to "Shut up". She does.
65	* ''Film/HighPlainsDrifter''. Callie Travers, the town prostitute, is understandably pissed off about being raped by the Stranger in broad daylight and tries to incite the cowardly townspeople to stand up to him. When her complaints are dismissed as hysteria, she sarcastically reminds the man who said this (implied to be a client) that, "I can remember some hysterics one night not too long ago!"
66	* ''Film/{{Jaws 2}}'': After the shark attacks them, one of the female teenagers, Jackie, eventually goes hysterical and has a panic attack when their rafts get stuck at the bottom. Another teen [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan tries to shut her up by shaking her violently]], but is told by his friends that this won't help.
67	* Maria Yates in ''Film/JohnnyReno''. Her every line is delivered in a hysterical scream, and her first act is grab a gun off a bystander and attempt to shoot a prisoner in the custody of a USMarshal. She has reasons for her extreme reactions, but she comes off as unhinged.
68	* Played with in ''Film/KnightAndDay''. June spends a lot of the first half of the movie panicking and screaming, which isn't presented as her being overly emotional, but a perfectly reasonable response of an ordinary woman getting thrust into a world of superspies and conspiracies. Once she manages to get a hold on the situation, she's much more level-headed and makes the change from mere ActionSurvivor to low-key ActionGirl.
69	* A justified example with ''Film/{{Midsommar}}'', as Dani has plenty of reasons for being prone to freak-outs and sobbing given that she is going through grief over the death of her family, and [[spoiler:the cult [[{{Gaslighting}} is deliberately exploiting said grief]] to get her to join them]].
70	* ''Film/OnTheBuses'':
71	** Ruby breaks down in tears after the manager calls her a stupid woman for following the wrong bus route.
72	** Vera freaks out after seeing spiders crawling on her legs, which causes her to rear-end a lorry with her bus.
73	* In ''Film/{{Pulp Fiction}}'' during the diner robbery, Honey Bunny is this when Jules points a gun at "Ringo".
74	* Sandra from ''Film/{{Waydowntown}}''.
75	* ''Film/VoyageToTheBottomOfTheSea''. A woman getting to her feet and shouting during the UN scientific conference is dismissed by the newsreader as "hysterical", even though her behaviour is a lot less emotional than the male scientists shouting and MilkingTheGiantCow while arguing with the IgnoredExpert.
76	[[/folder]]
77
78	[[folder:Literature]]
79	* In ''Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'', the mothers of the four brats each fall into panicky screaming as one by one their offspring meet various absurd fates in the factory, though both Violet and Mike's dads are similarly upset. (In the case of Veruca's parents, Mr. Salt is deliberately presented as ''ridiculously'' calm about her potential fate compared to his wife - likewise, Mr. Gloop refuses to jump into the chocolate river to save Augustus because he has his best suit on.) Two mothers are usually DemotedToExtra and/or AdaptedOut in adaptations, and the remaining moms sometimes get more rounded personalities in the bargain (Mrs. Beauregarde becomes an icy StageMom in the 2005 film and averts this trope, and Mrs. Teavee's anxious StepfordSmiler nature in the 2013 musical stems partially from her having to deal with an EnfanteTerrible son). Still, Mrs. Gloop always comes off as this when her son goes up the pipe, owing perhaps to their limited stage/screen time (they're the first tour group to be eliminated) superseding in-depth character development, and Mrs. Teavee is definitely this in the 1971 film.
80	* Sue Bridehead in ''Literature/JudeTheObscure'' appears to be a walking bundle of neuroses who is nonetheless trying to live life as an enlightened, liberated woman. It doesn't end up working for her.
81	* ''Literature/LuckyJim'': Margaret is very emotional and emotionally fragile, provoking feelings of obligation in Jim, who feels like he has to take care of her. At one point she actually goes into a fit of hysteria, and has to be slapped and given whiskey to snap out of it.
82	* The wandering womb diagnosis gets direct mention as "a classic case of hysteria" by a doctor in one of the ''Literature/MarcusDidiusFalco'' novels (set in 1st century Rome), along with Helena Justina's utter contempt for this particular brand of medical theory.
83	* In ''Literature/MurderOnTheOrientExpress'', Mrs. Hubbard goes through this a few times. First is when the supposed murderer escapes into her room after murdering Mr. Ratchett, then when she discovers the murder weapon in her sponge bag. [[spoiler: It's an act.]]
84	* In ''Literature/ThePaleKing'', Toni Ware [[WeNeedADistraction pretends to be one]] in her final scene, InelegantBlubbering and all.
85	* In C.S. Lewis's book ''Literature/ThatHideousStrength'' from ''Literature/TheSpaceTrilogy'', a woman begins to laugh uncontrollably in fear and nervousness in response to Horace Jewels' speech while he was under the influence of the CurseOfBabel. She stops when Wither forces him to sit and clears his throat...only to begin again when Wither is under the same CurseOfBabel, at which point she's joined by ''another'' woman!
86	* The narrator of ''Literature/TheYellowWallpaper'' was diagnosed with hysteria. The whole point of the work was that isolating and babying women who became mentally ill was ''not'' the way to treat them; the narrator doesn't start out insane -- at worst, suffering from postpartum depression, but she's slowly driven to madness after being more or less imprisoned in order for her to rest.
87	[[/folder]]
88
89	[[folder:Live Action TV]]
90	* Blanche, one of the maids on ''Series/AnotherPeriod'', recently spent time in an insane asylum and is still a bit...er...high-strung. Both her employers (the Bellacourt family) and her fellow servants take great pleasure in startling her into screaming fits.
91	* Soolin gets to [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan slap]] a particularly annoying one of these in ''Series/BlakesSeven''.
92	--> '''Tarrant''': You enjoyed that, didn’t you?
93	--> '''Soolin''': There are two classic ways of dealing with a hysterical woman. You didn’t really expect me to [[ShutUpKiss kiss]] {{h\|oYay}}er, did you?
94	** [[spoiler: Leveraged because the hysterical woman was in fact a DecoyDamsel feigning her distress.]]
95	* The trope is alive and well in ''Series/BoardwalkEmpire'', at least when it pertains to extras. If somebody gets killed and there is people to see it or find the body, you can guarantee that there will be a woman screaming, while all the men remain silent or are, at least, far less noisy.
96	* A lover of a victim in ''Series/TheCloser'', was this in spades. The second that she saw the body, she started screaming hysterically. She kept on screaming causing the investigators to wear earplugs around her.
97	* Creator/JanetFielding's Tegan in ''Series/DoctorWho'' Series 18 and 19. She eventually calmed down, but was still argumentative and prone to panicking. Even Fielding complained she was less a character and more a collection of tics and whinging -- apparently the showrunner, Creator/JohnNathanTurner, was opposed to character development as it hurt the marketability of his creations.
98	-->'''[[http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.com/2013/11/logopolis-written-by-christopher-h.html Doc Oho]]:''' ''Look at Creator/TomBaker’s face as Janet Fielding shrieks at him in a parody of acting; he looks genuinely pained to be sharing a screen with the actress.''
99	* In ''Series/FawltyTowers'': In "The Kipper and the Corpse", the elderly Miss Tibbs screams hysterically when she sees the dead Mr Leeman, and eventually faints.
100	* Spoofed in ''Series/GarthMarenghisDarkplace'' where Liz gets [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan punched in the face]] for being 'hysterical', yet her acting is of the DullSurprise kind.
101	* ''Series/{{House}}'' had a mass hysteria case where the normally competent Dr. Cuddy was struck hard by this trope. Like the ass he is, House told her that her gender made her more vulnerable to it than him.
102	* In ''Series/KitchenNightmares'' wives/girlfriends/sisters/female owners often times have a degree of this, often times pairing with NotMyFault. One of the most infamous times was with a female customer who literally cried when her burger arrived in sourdough bread rather than the regular bread used when the kitchen ran out of said style of bread.
103	* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Miss Brooks is typically the most intelligent and well-grounded person at Madison High School. However, in an out-of-character moment, she begins laughing hysterically at the end of "The Hobby Show". Miss Brooks' friends had come over, worried about her overworking, and were trying to get Miss Brooks to take up their various hobbies. That is to say, they expected Miss Brooks to fingerpaint (Harriet Conklin), knit (Mrs. Davis), play with a model train set (Walter Denton), play chess (Mr. Boynton) and fix broken toys for needy children (Mr. and Mrs. Conklin) ''all at the same time''.
104	* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'':
105	** Dr. Janice Lester, a villain-of-the-week ,was one of these. She quickly went insane when put in command of a ship, and broke down sobbing into her male assistant's arms at the end of the episode. She was also, at one point explicitly described as "red-faced with hysteria."
106	** From "Wolf in the Fold":
107	--> '''Kirk''': All right, Mister Spock, what do we have? A creature without form, that feeds on horror and fear, that must assume a physical shape to kill.
108	--> '''Spock''': And I suspect preys on women because women are more easily and more deeply terrified, generating more sheer horror than the male of the species.
109	** The ''[[Literature/StarTrekTheNewVoyages official]]'' fic "The Procrustean Petard" has this happening to Kirk when everyone has swapped genders. At one point Bones assumes he's going to end up crying, and surmises that women just can't be Captains.
110	* ''Series/{{Succession}}'': Alluded to when Shiv protests the notion that she wouldn't make as a good of an interim CEO as her brothers in the eyes of the board.
111	-->'''Shiv''': Too teary-eyed? Mascara-streaked?
112	* ''Series/TrueBlood'''s female characters are prone to emitting high-pitched screams whenever they find a body or something like that. Not even screaming "Help!", just screaming. None of the male characters do this.
113	[[/folder]]
114
115	[[folder:Theater]]
116	* Mary Warren in ''Theatre/TheCrucible'' is a deconstruction. Because other characters know she is emotionally fragile, both men and stronger women bully her, knowing she won't stand up for herself.
117	* Rapunzel in ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'' by the play's second act becomes this, mostly from how the Witch treated her (and possibly postpartum depression after baring twins while being banished out in the desert). When she's seen she's prone to hysterical fits of crying. When her Prince and Cinderella's Prince hear her wailing while out in the woods, Cinderella's Prince looks genuinely disturbed while Rapunzel's Prince doesn't even bat an eye. [[spoiler:It's up for debate on when she's killed by the Giantess whether or not she ran under her by accident while in a hysterical fit, or if she [[DrivenToSuicide deliberately threw herself under the Giantess' foot.]]]]
118	[[/folder]]
119
120	[[folder:Video Games]]
121	* ''VideoGame/DeadSpace'''s female population was almost entirely these or LaughingMad women. {{Justified\|Trope}} by the fact that enemies hunted down, killed, mutilated, and revived you as one of them.
122	** Soundly averted in [[ActionGirl Ellie's]] case, however.
123	* ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice'': Ellen Wyatt from the DLC case has a pronounced tendency to break down sobbing whenever something goes wrong. Though to be fair, she's also been accused of murder on her wedding day and the true culprit has been gaslighting her, so she's probably earned the right to a FreakOut or several.
124	* ''VideoGame/QuestForGloryIII'': Inverted. Tarna, land of the liontaur people, though a monarchy with a king, has a council of lawmakers made up entirely of women because men are seen as too emotional to make government decisions.
125	* ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' has a subdued version for all of the girls in the game. In stage transitions a male on anchor looks more composed when his ally loses the round but the ladies all look [[https://i.imgur.com/cZl0g3j.mp4 visibly upset]] and appear to be scolding and reprimanding their allies.
126	* [[UnfortunateImplications Implied]] in ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles''. By the end of their respective character arcs, the three highest-ranked women in the game are too ruled by their emotions to make sound judgements, and they self-destruct or not according to whether their male love interests care enough about them to stop them. In each case, the woman in question had been otherwise calm, collected, and competent leading up to this point.
127	** Alicia spends the second half of the game building up to an emotional meltdown, but main character Welkin (and the rest of Squad 7, really) brushes off her cries for help until she has a [[EleventhHourSuperpower literal meltdown]], at which point he calms her down with a hug and an engagement ring. Apparently she wasn't worth listening to before she [[spoiler:tried to kill herself in the most bombastic and destructive way possible]], and afterward, all she really needed was a husband and a baby.
128	** Varrot's entire military career hinges on [[spoiler: her ice-cold seething desire for revenge for her murdered lover]]. When she gets the chance, Largo talks her out of it, and they later marry and return to his farm.
129	** Selvaria. [[spoiler: She kills herself because Maximillian orders her to, and although she realizes he's only been using her as a weapon and so sabotages her SuicideAttack by sparing the heroes, she goes through with it because she loves him.]]
130	* {{Subverted}} with Imca in ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChroniclesIII''. She's irrational and hysterical whenever she sees a Valkyria [[spoiler:Riela included]], but it's more in the way of [[BerserkButton a bull seeing capote]], and thus perceived as 'the masculine kind of being lacking in reasoning'.
131	[[/folder]]
132
133	[[folder:Webcomics]]
134	* PlayedForLaughs in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius''. One of the Jägermonsters is ordered to accompany Agatha home, after she was expelled from the university, and she thinks that it will eat her as soon as no one can see them. She proceeds to scream hysterically for several panels, while the Jägermonster tries unsuccessfully to assure her it has no intention of eating her. She finally shuts up when it considers eating her just to get some quiet. (After Agatha TookALevelInBadass, she averts this trope.)
135	** There's also the fact that her level in badass involves [[spoiler:having the Jägermonsters as effectively her private army]]. You're going to become FAR less hysterical when you realise that they [[spoiler:work for you because they actually WANT you to succeed]].
136	* [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Hysterical Dame"]] is one of the characters in ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'', and initially this fits perfectly, though everyone ends up fairly competent by the end. In her case, getting hysterical is the same as [[UnstoppableRage going berserk]].
137	[[/folder]]
138
139	[[folder:Western Animation]]
140	* Deconstructed in ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'': Joseph dismisses his wife's breakdown as her 'womanly emotions' getting the better of her and her becoming hysterical to the point of [[spoiler: him having her lobotomized]], but she's clearly in the throes of grief after losing her only son, and neither he nor a post-World War II society is equipped to handle it. Joseph in particular prefers to take the easy way out to get her to his definition of 'better'.
141	* Mocked in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. Marge foils a burglar and Homer arrives far too late (being unable to maintain the same running speed as Marge). Marge says how exhilarating it was, to which Homer responds that it's always exhilarating to watch the police get their man and save "a hysterical woman."
