(125,062 posts)1. "authoritarian witch"???. What does that even mean? The word "witch"
refers to practitioners of various earth-based belief systems, including Wiicca. Any other use is a gendered, patriarchal slur, and it is very disappointing to see its use in that way here. Frankly, I am quite surprised.
