Over two-thirds done now.

I hate writing about misogyny when I'm tired. I have to stop myself going sarcastic, which doesn't really come across right in an academic paper.

'...Because women were clearly uncontrollably lustful beings, they were more prone to temptation from the Devil to both sign pacts in blood and have sex with him, despite the slightly contradictory assumption circulated at the time that he was cold and unsatisfying in the extreme.'

I didn't write that.

But really. This is why I have to bite my tongue when my tutor says things jollily like: 'Oh, but their arguments really carried a lot of logic for the time, of course!'

Maybe after he marks my essays I'll go and have a long and slightly less polite argument with him than I usually do in seminars.

No. No, they did not, not necessarily. There's a reason they call it the witch-craze.

Hee.

I wrote my undergrad thesis on that.

*reminisces*

Alas, I cannot.

I do, however get to do all of it as coursework for this term and next term, so that's fun, at least.

I just wish my tutor didn't make me twitch and restrain murderous impulses, at times.

They can certainly bring that out, at times.

Have fun! Nearly done.

Indeed! I can save the messing around with tenses and double-spacing and making it pretty when I get up tomorrow.

Nearly done.
