Chapter 10
I realised today that most of the time when referring to the witches hunt of 1430-1630, people like to refer to it as a sort of collective hysteria who happened to last hundred of years. Anger rushed through me, because what do you mean a "collective hysteria" ? This was without debate a giant feminicid, started because of religion as always. The hateful beliefs of angry men being the source of massive pain and death as history like to remind us. Some will tell me "but Elise men died in the witches hunt too !" And yes that is true but they were only a minimal part of the massacre, even tho their death is as painfull as all others i will allow myself to say im even angrier about all the women who died for being women.
Kill thousands of women under the guise of religion and don't worry we will simply say everyone was crazy, kill thousands of people essentially civilians under the guise of religion and we will (After it happened of course) quietly call it a genocid and wait some years to mark the date, make thousands men fight each other to death under the guise of greedy power and we will insurge ourselves, take offense, mark the date in history in bright colors and make a national holiday out of it.
These differences people make in history based on who died might seem so small and trivial but i know a lot of women, now resting in the earth, would have appreciated some recognition in the name of what actually happened.
