    For those who don't already know, this is how/why he got crushed: "How do you plead?" "Get bent" "If you don't enter a plea, we will squish you until you do. Bailiff, squish this man!" *some squishing later* "How do you plead" "Get bent, add more weight" *more squishing* "How do you plead?" "More. Weight." By not entering a plea, his lands weren't forfit (which would happen if he was found guilty - the whole point of these trials, in some peopes opinion, was taking land/property) and his children were able to inherit his estate.

    ​@@samuelmellars7855 Yeah, property disputes were a major factor in some witch hunts. A distant ancestor of mine was drowned as a witch in Shropshire, England, and from what we can gather from the records available, it was over ownership of a pub and inn. Mary Lacye married into a family with three brothers (or possibly two brothers and an uncle), all of wnom had a stake in the family inn/pub. One brother decided that didn't work for him and accused his sisters-in-law, Mary and Elizabeth, and eventually his brothers as well, of witchcraft. Elizabeth and her husband (the accuser's own brother) were tried and killed via dunking stool in the local pond, and then Mary was arrested and drowned. Ironically, drowning proved that you weren't a witch, so there is a record of the town providing a small sum of money to have her quietly buried in the local churchyard--a sort of "whoops, our bad." Mary's husband Thomas took a look at his situation, grabbed their 2 year old son and wisely got the f*** out of there, and that's how one of my alleged ancestors got to America.

    Fun fact, there was actually a man involved in prosecuting these women who started questioning the witch trials, he said something along the lines of "well burn them all, they're all witches" at which point he was promptly burned for being witch because that's something only a witch would say.

And i bet Giles and Martha were laughing about it in the after life. full article: www.history.com/news/women-werent-only-victims-of-salem-witch-trials

    Nope. *those are not facts.* 😂 Well I know this is just a joke and I enjoyed it, but it seems like many people actually think what she said out of ignorance is right. So I will go spittn' some facts and you can read my comment if you're interested.😉 Witch hunt wasn't caused by the society's fear of women's independence or because women were specifically regarded as objects whereas men weren't. First of all, *women at that time didn't even want independence.* The first time when a very few number of women preferred independence to female privileges was around 1800 in France and it was in the early 20th century when women's rights movements became meaningful to society. And since witch hunt happened since the medieval age, witch hunt was *absolutely irrelevant of independence of women. like, at all.* Most women at that time(even until the early 20th century) preferred to keep their privileges such as protection and financial support from men, rather than exposing themselves to life-threatening threats. Don't think women always believed in throwing away their female privileges and get independence from men. Second, *The 'witches' were not women. It was more like devil hunt.* It might sound quite weird, but the witch hunt was not targeted on women. In Europe, 20% of witch hunt victims were men. In some countries or regions, men were targeted even more than women. 60% of victims in Estonia, 66%(it says two-third) of victims in Moscow, and 92% of victims in Iceland were men. So, witch hunt was not caused by the fact women had less rights than men. *Gender was not important in witch hunt.* And this must be very easy for you to understand if you know that *medieval people in Europe never believed that only women can be possesed by devils.* Then why did witch hunt happen? *Witch hunt happened mainly because* of famine(due to temperature swift in Europe), lack of scientific knowledge(They thought sourcery existed), power game between the Catholic church and the Protestant church.

    Oh, now I see that she was specifically talking about Salem witch trial that took place in 1692. Even in that case, her argument is wrong, because there were also men who were executed and, again, there were no women't rights movement at that time.

    Nah. They'd say that the person was lying, that nobody would confess that easily, that they must be trying to deceive them because why would they confess and proceed to torture them until they told them "the truth" and then execute them along with everyone they implicated. IN FACT the torture would be so horrific that the torturee would fabricate names and crimes just to get the torture to stop. They would confess to raping children, eating puppies, pissing in the water supply, feeding their own shit to the judge's grandmother, throwing acid in children's faces, being a dissident against the very government itself, BEING THE REINCARNATION OF THE DEVIL. Literally anything they could think of to make the torture stop. Do not joke about this. This is a very real piece of history that saw the deaths of many thousands of innocent lives, all because some German fuck got told off by a woman for being a creepy asshole. The witch trials were bad, actually. Hot take, I know.
