For centuries, when harvests failed and hunger set in, societies looked for someone to blame—and too often, they chose women. Not in metaphor, but in flesh. In a world without climate science, where droughts or crop disease couldn’t be explained, fear demanded a scapegoat. And women—especially those who bled, aged, gave birth, or simply lived outside the bounds of obedience—were cast as the cause.

In early modern Europe, during times of environmental collapse like the Little Ice Age, this fear sharpened. Crops withered, winters dragged on, and instead of facing nature’s chaos, communities turned inward. Widows, midwives, healers, or women who simply spoke too much were accused of tampering with the natural world. A failed harvest wasn’t random—it was a sign of moral failure. And hunger demanded someone to punish.

Witch trials didn’t erupt in times of abundance—they followed famine, plague, and crisis. Women were blamed for ruining crops, killing livestock, even causing bad weather. Their “crimes” were often just being too visible, too sexual, too old, too independent. In some courts, a dream about a woman’s spirit damaging crops was enough to convict her. Her actual presence wasn’t even required.

Menstruation became a powerful symbol of this fear. Across cultures, menstrual blood was seen as poison—thought to ruin seeds, spoil wine, blight gardens. Farming manuals warned women not to touch plants during their cycle. Religious texts framed them as impure. Over time, this wasn’t just superstition—it became a system of control.

The cruelest irony? Women were blamed for what they couldn’t control, then pushed out of the very work that sustained their communities. If they helped in the fields, they were punished. If they didn’t, they were called lazy. The logic trapped them either way.

At its core, this wasn’t about crops—it was about power. Regulating women’s bodies became a way to manage fear. And even though the witch trials ended, the logic behind them didn’t vanish. We still see it today, when women are blamed for decline, disorder, or change.

Iran’s streets are full.

Revolution or protest?

But power doesn’t fall just because people are brave.

It falls when a real alternative exists, it’s their time.

Watch carefully.
Pray harder.
Don’t fall for simple stories.
