HumorThe more I think about it, the more I agree with the comparison of TIMs to women during Witch Trials
There are actually a lot of similarities and they were already present during the 16th- 18th centuries so the parallels have always been there.
You see while women were being systematically tormented by bizarre and baseless accusations that led to their torture and murder TIMs were owning property, holding jobs, earning money, voting, and (legally) raping their wives BUT "living as women" was so vital to their existsnce that they frequently imagined it was them tied to that stake, burning alive and begging for forgiveness for crimes no one had ever committed. And as we all know, pretending to be a person (or wanting to pretend to be a person) is worse oppression than actually being that person. So in reality, the TIMs we're the biggest victims of the Witch Trials.
"Thousands of women were tortured and killed. Men considered biggest victims."
