Hysteria is, indeed, more common among women - probably due to social
and cultural expectations and conventions as to how a woman should and
does behave.

Indians (Native Americans, Amerindians)
Native Americans are often cast in the role of victims of White
aggression and unbridled avarice-driven or gratuitous violence,
especially in the territories known collectively today as the United
States. But the first massacre was perpetrated by Indians in the
British colony Jamestown, in Virginia in 1622. They slaughtered 347
white men, women and children on that occasion.
Europeans are also accused of importing pathogens, disease causing
agents, such as smallpox and measles, malaria and yellow
fever. Indigenous people had no immunological resistance to these
illnesses as they were never exposed to them.
But recent findings by a team of anthropologists, economists and
paleopathologists who have completed a massive study of the health of
people living in the Western Hemisphere in the last 7,000 years -
suggest that Native American's health was severely run down long
before the Europeans delivered the coup de grace.
