@sandpiperr 3 роки тому
Yes, they were more likely to be targeted but it wasn't just them...it was all women. If you can, check out a video about the Malleus Maleficarum. It a very influential book on witch hunting from the time and was also incredibly misogynistic. Basically the case was that women, no matter their social status, were spiritually inferior and thus vulnerable to becoming witches and even made the most basic of things, such as women talking to each other, a sign that they might be witches (since, by their reasoning, a woman can't keep a secret so if Satan gives her the capabilities of a witch she'll tell other women and spread witchcraft and devil worship in her community). Essentially making women even having friends, not only suspicious, but actually a threat!

Isabella Rocha not exactly. In some countries, the majority of the accused were men, and not women (I believe Iceland is one such example). While yes, the witch trials accused a lot of women, it was also about the poor, the elderly, the disliked, and the disabled. This idea that the majority of the accused were “intelligent and independent women” is feminist rewriting of history and ignores the fact that the accused were usually uneducated and poor.

@LLBloodwulf 3 роки тому
Those weren't the same....the term "witch" is gender neautral, regardless of being male or female you are called "witch". The werewolf trials were just that: hunting for werewolves. As in they beileved werewolves actually existed and men who were believed to be werewolves were hunted down. HOWEVER this happened ALONGSIDE the witch trails. So it was a double whammy: you could be accused of being a witch, a werewolf, or both if you were a male between the 16th and 17th century

Okay, so if anyone is interested in knowing more about the Swedish witch Märit (not Märet) Jonsdotter, I have some conflicting information compared to what was presented in the video. My information comes from the book "Häxornas försvarare: Ett historiskt reportage" (Eng: The Witches' Defender: A Historical Reportage" by the famous Swedish author/journalist Jan Guillou, who in turn took much of His information from a Swedish historical doctorate thesis. So, here is some of the conflicting information: 1. Gertrude, the girl who accused Märit, didn't have a physical altercation with the boy. Instead, she helped goats they were herding cross a stream whilst the boy could not (he was younger and smaller), which made him lie to his father about her walking on water and such. It was to protect his male pride. 2. Märit was actually a maid (don't know the English word for it, but it is "piga" in Swedish) at the girl Gertrude's family farm. Gertrude's father wanted to marry the young Märit (only 19 years old att that point) after Gertrud's mother passed away. Gertrude allegedly didn't like it and was sent away, so she was in a different village than Märit when she accused her of being the one to teach her witchcraft. In other words, she likely just accused Märit because she held a personal grudge against her. 3. Märit actually claimed her innocence many times, and was let go because of it. But she was still executed a few years after the initial accusation, despite still claiming her innocence and never admitting to the accusations, making her stand out among many witches, since many were inclined to confess under different types of pressure. So those were some of the discrepancies I reacted to. I don't know which source is closer to the truth, but I can only assume it's Guillou because, well, he's Swedish... Still, a really interesting video. I understand it's difficult to get everything right with so much information in one video, especially when it's made in the other side of the world in a country that doesn't speak Swedish. (Which basically means every country except Sweden itself and partly Finland...) In a last note for those interested: Sweden stood out in the European witch hunts since almost all of the key witnesses and the forces of the people driving the witch hysteria were children.
