Serious denial
Somebody is having a serious denial problem. Why is it hard to admit that historically women did suffer from sexism? If 75% of the poor people executed for the ridiculous crime of witchcraft were women, what conclusion can be made other than "unrelieved misogyny, blind ignorance, superstition and woman-hating" were the problems.

But you are aware there's an invention called television,
and on it they show shows
Anton LeVey is a Satanist - not a witch. HUGE difference. Witches do not believe in satan nor hell. GEt your facts straight.
And as for Crowley - he was a speed freak who was caught up in black magic. If you consider him a warlock, please consider him an advocate for exclusively the black arts and black magic. And also consider that black magic left him destitute as well as his drug addiction.
As for the ones on bewitched - honey that is a tv sitcom. IF you think TV is reality, you need a shrink, not a website to argue faux theories on women vs. men in the pagan communities.
PS.... yes you are correct about how many men are/were warlocks. but please do not use bewitched to argue the point. bad example.

Then how come Hagrid is a man?
Pretty interesting! Wonder what those Canadians think about Michael Pollen's comments on witches, brooms etc. in "The Botany of Desire".
Sorry guys, the hag is a female archetype!
