Witchcraft Is the New Misandry

No, please don’t. Please don’t ever let witchcraft become trendy or a euphemism for misandry.

A witch, to be an effective one (I won’t get into light or dark because I don’t believe the Universe is Santa Claus), must align herself with the forces of Nature. That includes all genders. If a witch hates her femininity or her masculinity or her androgyny, she will not only fail, and not only become a hypocrite, but be completely useless and possibly damaging to any cause, including feminism or egalitarianism.

A hater of men worth their salt is a hater of mankind, both the men who destroy and the women who dance on the bodies and rouge their lips with the blood spilled on their behalf.

No witch, regardless of her place on the benevolence to malevolence spectrum, can afford illusions of a gender somehow being distinct from its culture. If your men suck, it’s because you suck right along with them. If you required not sucking as a prerequisite for making babies or doing the baby making act with someone, then lo and behold, they would cease to suck…or die out, which is an okay scenario for a misanthrope.

To be a witch is not just a label. It is a hard earned rank. It’s a place in human hierarchy that someone can’t just have because they buy a quartz pendant and wear funky eyeliner. Wannabes get their asses handed to them by actual witches and by Nature.

So if anything, witchcraft could be the new misanthropy, and its specifically anti male sector could be interpreted as misandrist, but to whatever degree we’re misandrist, we’re misogynist too.
