Women: Equal or Evil?

I found the explanations on why women are more often witches than men to be very ironic to what it would mean to actually be a witch and be capable of wielding that kind of power. In the Malleus Maleficarum, one their reasons is "women are naturally more impressionable, and more ready to receive the influence of a disembodied spirit; and when they use this quality well they are good, but when they use it ill they are very evil." (page 183) Women are also called weak, feebler in both mind and body, intellectually like children, and an "imperfect animal" who always deceives.
All of this really sounds like the men who wrote this were rejected by a woman at some point in their lives and they're still salty about it.
It is ironic because they are insulting women and saying that they're weak and therefore more susceptible to being influenced by the devil, but they are also admitting that women can have a kind of power that they cannot even really comprehend. Deep down, it seems like they are just afraid that women are more powerful than them and they feel threatened by that. Especially since they consider a "normal" and "good" woman to be as innocent and obedient as a child.
