PREACH!

Um. Lots and lots of men were tried as witches, you idiots just don’t know about them because you’re too busy cultivating your victim mentalities to actually read up on the history.

It’s a metaphor, die mad about it

Ummm… I guess OP doesn’t realize that men were also charged and hung for witchcraft. But lets make it about the women.

>complains about people “misusing” a metaphorical term based on historical incidents 

>only knows the pop-culture version, which means she’s misusing the term

Just two of the Salem witch trials’s many male victims include John Proctor, a farmer and bartender who is also the protaganist of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible

you can’t use this term where people were tortured, killed, and had their reputations ruined due to accusations of a crime to…..

describe people having their reputations ruined over accusations of a crime

okay then

And that the accusations in the Salem witch trials were overwhelmingly made by… women.
