That's definitely named that way because of the association of women and the uterus with hysteria by the misogynist doctors of old, right?

Probably has to do with the Greek Origin "Hustera/Hystera" meaning Womb.

Checked Wikitionary. The "hystero-" prefix both means hysteria and the womb.

Do you gues really believe it's an etymological coincidence that the same root for hysteria is also for the uterus? >_>
No, that implies a direct association from their origin... --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY ... Copied to Clipboard!

There's nothing misogynist or offensive about the term 'hysterectomy'.

If anything, it's the term, "hysteria" that has a troubled history, not hysterectomy. ... Copied to Clipboard!

They both take from the same root because issues with the uterus were said to have caused hysteria. That being said, the word hysterectomy is not misogynist. Lots of words share root origins or are derived from one another. --- Would you follow a blind man? I would if I was in the dark ... Copied to Clipboard!
