tbh they would call women witches if they had any sort of pleasure in the 1600s.
Or power.
Because only a man can do things by themselves naturally. When women do something great it must have been magic not merit.
You mean like Queen Elizabeth I who ruled over England from 1558-1603?
You're right of course but I just couldn't help being a smartass when the arguably most powerful person in the world at the beginning of the century was a woman.

You should try.
It's the weekend, brighten up and maybe go outside or something. You sound a little grumpy.
You're right. I apologize for being grumpy. Coincidentally, I'm grumpy because I work outside.
Hey that's not how it works. You have to double down and insult me.
Jokes aside I hope you get some well deserved rest on the weekend.
Hey you two can't just be nice to each other on the internet. This is not how it works around here.
Accusing people of witchcraft was also a great way of avoiding blame. Bread didn't rise properly? Not my fault. Neighbour is a witch.
