^I'm just wondering where that comes from? Because historically when you look at witches it was gender neutral for example if you look at witch burning from various different countries it referred to both men and women, even in Salem there were people like John Willard and priests accused of witchcraft. In my opinion Vampire Diaries and The Originals are the only ones who seem to use the term witch accurately, seeing as it's gender neutral, "In ancient times, the term witch was gender-neutral for anyone who practiced magic, male or female. "Warlock", was reserved for witches who could not be trusted"
