“He’s a witch!”

Your (no-doubt) Halloween-related news:

Academics say historians have ignored the suffering of thousands of male witches.
Canadians Andrew Gow and Lara Apps say they have been marginalised by researchers who have focussed on the persecution of female witches.
They claim 25% of the estimated 60,000 witches executed in Europe between 1450 and 1750 were men.

Fair enough. Gow, however, loses all his credibility when he further notes:

“Look at Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Look at Bewitched and other popular TV depictions of witches and witchcraft. They all revolve around women
exclusively.”

Bosh. Doctor Bombay, Uncle Arthur, not to mention Sam’s father, the mighty Maurice, were all key members of the Bewitched cast.

I hate shoddy research.
