Witchy Women, they've got the moon in their eyes...........

Once upon a time men believed that all women were witches.  They had absolutely no understanding of why these weaker, dependent creatures could exercise such influence over them........could persuade them to risk their lives to feed and clothe them, protect and house them, as well as their offspring, which inevitably arrived on the scene after they began playing the really fun games that women knew how to play.  Since men were stronger and smarter and had a close relationship with God, they realized that women had to be doing something magical to them to get them to do the really stupid things women wanted them to do.  Since men did not know how to do this magic and women did, it had to be evil.  Strong social restrictions were established regarding women and many women were lost as a result of them.  Women sought an alliance with Mother Nature for protection from men.  This is the way religion started.
