Why do some women compare themselves to witches?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

My definition of being a witch (the good one lol): if you are willing to work on your shadow, then you can be considered as one

"The ‘shadow’ refers to the dark side of our personalities which we repress and overlook. It is the side of us that is wounded with past traumas and impulsive emotions such as envy, greed, rage and desire. Shadow work is the practice of facing those emotions and traumas head on to be able to heal properly and balance your life."

Should be link to psychology

I think a lot of women can relate to the history of witches that's why. a lot of women who are seen as intimidating to others or who decided to be themselves are usually witch hunted because they have a mind of their own. You only have to say something slightly negative about a male on this site to see that for yourself. I think women ar sick and tired of constantly being bashed no matter what they say or do so they find the whole witch find kinda ironic and humorous.

Women are often passive or wish to appear to be. Witchcraft is defined as using
Witchcarft by definition is "the use of supernatural powers, usually to do harm". This means she can secretly attack people she wants to do things to. Witches in western society are anti-social, going against the norms of society. For women who are already doing other anti-social things like practicing misandry, or being obese and claiming you have a phobia if you don't find her attractive: t's a natural fit.

I've got my AHS top of baddest witch in town. And why? well for me i am a goth so kinda goes with it.
But for other's it can be that reason or just for attention, or there one of those nutters who actually believe there a witch and have little to no understanding of the history of Salem and witches on a whole.

Maybe because we are being rebellious, stubborn, Witch is the most evil name for a woman who doesn’t submit to patriarchal power,”in the same way some feminists have reclaimed “s__t or “b__ch,” taking it from a derogatory term meaning “evil” and transforming it into something more positive.
sometimes dont get me wrong Im a witch with a broom since I'm always cleaning the house 🤦and my lazy Cousins dont want to help but I think thats why😅but not all women are witches

Just like male gamers. When you don't have any real skills or power, you play make-believe to feel better about yourself. I could be a pro basketball player, spec ops, fighter pilot, or whatever if I only had to use my thumbs, lol.

It's just powerless people trying to feel powerful

some women believe they are witches to a degree. its a name for a female spell caster so its literally a name made by humans used on humans.

okeydoke · Answer

The historical approach to witches in the Western World was accusing “wayward women” of being in cahoots with the devil and supernatural for being proto-feminists and standing up for themselves. These women who were declared witches were frequently tortured and executed for doing such horrific things as having sex outside of marriage, speaking out of turn at church, and *gasp* reading.

Some women wear that legacy as a bad of honor.
