And the men who enable them by pretending to be into it just for sex are just as bad

      I’m allowed to think someone is wrong and misinformed. Wiccan shit is snake oil salesman. The people are into it are the same people who buy essential oils.

        You're allowed to do whatever you want I'm words on the internet not a cop (more on that later). I have an elderly neighbor who does crystal and faith healing stuff, and has offered to do it to me a few times. I don't have any reason to believe it works, but I politely accept because it's more important for me not feel like a raging asshole than it is share with everyone just how I think the world works.

              Half of the wiccans of which I know a shit ton from being in the rave scene I know aren’t. Are pro essential oil pro faith healing. My anecdotal evidence has as much validity as yours. It’s not a stereotype I literally interact with these people constantly. It’s not sexist to point out wiccans are anti science. You are just a Mayo looking for oppression points when you aren’t marginalized at all. I know over 20 of these people. It’s not a small sample size

                anti science.

                Coming from a scientist; read Kuhn and Feyerabend and don't pin your worldview on this notion of science as some impartial arbiter of truth. We're normal people just like everyone else.

                  This is condescending as shit. I have a neuroscience degree. I am a scientist too. I never said it was impartial I said it’s actual evidence of which wiccanism has none

                    said it’s actual evidence

                    This isn't actually how things work.

            That's the wonderful thing about it! Because I've actually treated her like a person as opposed to a rube to be corrected, she'll actually come by and run medical decisions by me. She asked me if she should get a covid vaccine and we decided that she was going to ask her doctor and commit to whatever he says.

        I'm gonna ignore the easy layup and say sure they can! If you want them to!

        Who's going to stop people from mixing them? Are you going to shoot them?
