But his argument is that wherever the people were targeted, the demographic is whoever had a pre-existing association with witchcraft.
So in England and in Scotland and in America and in the Germanic countries, there is an idea that women are naturally more inclined towards witchcraft than men are.
You see that in the Malifous Maleficarum.
That's a really ancient thing.
The Orophculs at Delphi, they were all women.
