They have always hated women of all colors. But it wasn’t as pronounced with white women because they are necessary breeders. Now even that rail is down.

In the early modern period, from about 1400 to 1775, about 100,000 people were prosecuted for witchcraft in Europe and British America.[1] Between 40,000 and 60,000 were executed, almost all in Europe.[2][3] The witch hunts were particularly severe in parts of the Holy Roman Empire. Prosecutions for witchcraft reached a high point from 1560 to 1630,[4][5] during the Counter-Reformation and the European wars of religion.

33. King James VI of Scotland (James I of England and Ireland) wrote the book Daemonologie (1597)
Sun Jan 18, 2026, 11:57 AM
Jan 2026
The book frames witchcraft as "treason against God" and endorses the practice of witch hunting.

The book is believed to be one of the main sources used by William
Shakespeare in the production of Macbeth. Shakespeare attributed many quotes and rituals found within the book directly to the 'Weird Sisters', yet also attributed the Scottish themes and settings referenced from the trials in which King James was involved.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemonologie

Although the mother of James was Mary, Queen of Scots, who was Catholic, James was raised as a Protestant. He succeeded his cousin, Elizabeth I, in 1603 and reigned in Scotland, England, and Ireland until his death in 1625.


...the witch hunt instituted a regime of terror on all women, from which emerged the new model of femininity to which women had to conform to be socially accepted in the developing capitalist society: sexless, obedient, submissive, resigned to subordination to the male world, accepting as natural the confinement to a sphere of activities that in capitalism has been completely devalued.

The witch hunts were the means by which women in Europe were educated about their new social tasks and a massive defeat was inflicted on Europe's 'lower classes,' who needed to learn about the power of the state to desist from any form of resistance to its rule.
.

Witches, Witch-Hunting, and Women by Silvia Federici. PM Press 2018. pp. 32-33.


When I was in Scotland last fall, on a two week trip prior to seeing the RSC production of Macbeth in Stratford-upon-Avon, I spent some time reading about the history of witch hunting in Scotland. I even did a two hour walk in Edinburgh with an Italian woman guide--who holds a doctorate in Art History from the University of Edinburgh--devoted to the history of witchcraft in Edinburgh. It was a fascinating tour. The Protestant Reformation may have changed some religious practices and beliefs from the Catholic Church, but it did not veer away from the concept or practice of patriarchal dominance.

That is becoming more difficult, as the trend is for women to outnumber men in universities. That trend is creating an increasing number of men who have trouble finding partners, which is not a good thing for society.

,snip-"It’s true that, once again, a majority of white women (51%) voted for Donald Trump.

It’s also true that white women voted for Trump by a smaller margin than they did in 2020. While still leaning Republican, white women supported Trump by 4 points in 2024 (51% to 47%), compared to an 8-point margin in 2020 (53% to 45%).

snip-"One-in-ten Black women and 21% of Black men voted for Trump in the most recent election."


A whole LOT of white woman are responsible for the apricothellbeast in office.

It is very likely that some white liberal, especially high net worth women, who are ostensibly financially & socially 'safer' married to & raising republican oriented individuals voted for their pocketbook, not for principles.

They are incapable of seeing women as fully capable and autonomous adults, deserving of full rights. It’s a pathology.
