This just came to mind because I genuinely am just curious, but off the top of my head, 'if she bleeds' was never something that a predominantly white society practiced, not even the medieval period.

Remind me... Who had the witch trials, and killed all the healers?
Witchcraft trials today? It's predominantly in cultures that failed to evolve and cast aside those trappings. Africa, The Indian subcontinent, those kinda places. Why'd you ask?
The comment I replied to was regarding history. I'm going to try again. The state of medicine was a direct result of the Catholic church, and their unchristian willingness to murder. Look at the Cathars.
This comment, I agree with you that there are people in the world still following inappropriate ways. There was an AITA yesterday about a stepmom hiding her 18 yr old stepdaughter because her grandparents from home country wanted to marry her off to a 30+ yr old man.
The comments were very informative. I don't understand everything in this thread, but some of the dumb shit is human trafficking. Whatever it's coming from leave it alone. You don't want to be on that list.
Sounds like just another islamic theocracy that targets and murders women and healers for "heresy". They're all the same to me - threats. Good thing the white folks started to crack the catholics.
I get a small government pension for marking human traffickers for capture. It ain't much, but it's honest work.
...Sometimes they scream for hours. It is very pretty.
The Cathers were Christians exterminated by the Catholic church because they refused to convert.

Read more drama. It's ALWAYS the same patterns, the same red flags, the same abuse. It's like people opening up their relationship, so damn predictable.
Are you aware that "witch" was not a gendered term until recently? Are you aware that about 50% of the "witches" killed throughout history were men?
I'm guessing not.
Some other terms are shamans, seers, wise men. Why nitpick? Most of them died because they had something someone else wanted. The end result is still the knowledge was either lost or went underground.
Probably shouldn't be guessing with someone who was using coursera for entertainment.
