Caliban and The Witch

The history in Caliban and The Witch is making me mad because it’s wrong. Why is there so much bad history? Like I don’t mind getting off on critical theory tangents, but get the underlying history right, including the class make up of the Cathars, the demographics and mechanics of witch trials (they were usually an expression of popular dissatisfaction and in fact the church tried to excommunicate the guy who started the witch panic) and the fact that priestly dress is not an imitation of feminine garments because THAT’S WHAT MEN’S CLOTHES LOOKED LIKE AT THE TIME and gender norms were much different. Like I have theories on the changing form of patriarchy as capitalism developed, but these aren’t them.  Also, no witch trials did not target midwives, they tended to target those who had some money (but weren’t gentry) but were also unpopular
