I'll blog this later on. I happen to be writing a very similar one right now (I was just learning how to use Office OneNote to store research etc, or it might have been published the same day!), so I'll have to change my stance slightly now, to make it less similar. I'm still laughing about this bit "Women it was said were vulnerable to Satan and prone to witchcraft. They are unreliable and mercurial creatures, weak, distracted by vanities, and superstitious; they are naturally spiteful; they are more concerned with matters of the flesh than men, and they use sex to cast a spell over men so they can do the Devil’s work." And I was going to write about the drowning bit, too - can anyone even believe that's the way they did it? The innocent will drown? I beggars belief... I loved this article, Kim.
