Interesting and thoughtful. I've come to regard the term "witch" as meaning "practitioner of Neo-Pagan Craft." I don't pay much attention to the possible gender polarity implications. But maybe I've made my own adaptations to Craft's nurturing of Goddesses as an alternative to masculine monotheism. I wouldn't mind being called a "warlock." But I've called myself a "witch" for so long that I'm at ease with the term and the identity.
That article also made me want to say 'but I am the blacksmith!' At least, in World of Warcraft I am!! I wonder if we can swim back and forth.. I don't have a man's body, and it's hard to explain the changes in this woman's body as it gets older, how strongly those changes influence THOUGHT AND INTENT (like lycanthropy)...but I hope we can both preserve those things particular to each gender, and also be free enough to partake slightly of each others'.. just a little draught w/ respect, mebbe
