women needed to make sure their children got fed and survived. they have extra energy for that task.  this creates energy that may look like egoism etc. > that curse people, cast spells, conjure demons etc. the good women knew some herbs and plants and could heal people.  the bad ones knew poisons and could poison and/or kill without you noticing.  i have this suspicion that as we turned into capitalism, the vatican killed all the ones that could heal and knew the herbs and plants (original witch hunts).  so they can sell chemicals instead.
