The Salem ''Witch Trials'' is an interesting case of what happens when you Listen and Believe bored women who make shit up for attention and try to one-up the previous false-accuser.

Because yes, it was started by women, and mostly done by women. Not ''patriarchy killing wimminz they didn't like''.

There were no ''witches'' among the victims, no matter how many false claims neo-pagans make about the trials. All the victims were White Christians.

In fact in many countries they executed more men than women as witches.

Witch was not a gendered term at the time.

Yep, Salem was just Puritan Me-Too, with a lot more murder. The lesson learned from Salem should have been "dont believe women unless a trustworthy man will also vouch for them". Clearly, that lesson was never learned, and the actual Witches got away with it.
