In the Malleus Maleficarum, Sprenger and Kramer's basic argument for the origins of witchcraft is that witchcraft is found primarily in women for several reasons that focus on the characteristics of women. Sprenger and Kramer argue that witchcraft in women is more likely because women were very naive and impressionable, carnal lust is never satisfied in women, and they have lower intelligence and weaker memories than men. Women are seen as very naive and impressionable because they are influenced much more easily and therefore are more likely to get involved with the devil. Women were “more credulous, and since the devil's main purpose is to corrupt faith, he rather attacks them” (120). The fact that women are gullible and naive makes it easier for the devil to lure them into witchcraft. They were also much more impressionable, making them prime targets for “disembodied spirits” to influence them and cause evil (120). The spirits referred to are those of evil and without faith, and since women were more vulnerable they would be more likely to abandon faith and be inclined to follow the devil. Sprenger and Kramer state that a “wicked woman is by nature more ready to waver in her faith, and consequently more ready to renounce the faith, which is the root of witchcraft” (121). This further demonstrates how much more likely it would be for women to become witches since the naivety and impressionability of women is what would cause one to falter in quickness and renounce faith. Sprenger and Kramer felt that the insatiable carnal lust that was part of women led them to witchcraft because their lust cannot be satisfied and would lead to involvement with the devil. Proverbs xxx states, “There are three things that are never satisfied, yea a fourth thing that does not say, It is enough; that is, the mouth of the mother's womb” (127). Basically women are seen as women obsessed with sexual encounters that could not be satisfied by man alone, so they in turn would get involved with the devil to fulfill their desires. This is also demonstrated when a woman falsely accuses Joseph because he would not agree to have sex with her and he ends up in prison (121). As explained in the selection "when he hates someone he previously loved, then he seethes with anger and impatience" (121). This shows how the lust of the woman who accused Joseph caused her wickedness to accuse him.
