In the Malleus Maleficarum, Sprenger and Kramer's basic argument about the origins of witchcraft is that witchcraft is found primarily among women for several reasons that focus on women's characteristics. Sprenger and Kramer argue that witchcraft among women is more likely because women were very naive and impressionable, carnal desire is never satisfied in women, and they have weaker intelligence and memory than men . Women are considered very naive and impressionable because they are much more easily influenced and are therefore more likely to become involved in relationships with the devil. Women were “more gullible, and as the devil's main aim is to corrupt the faith, therefore he attacks them instead” (120). Since women are gullible and naive, it is easier for the devil to incite them to witchcraft. They were also much more impressionable, making them prime targets for “disembodied spirits” wishing to influence them and provoke villainy (120). The spirits mentioned are those of evil and without faith, and as women were more vulnerable, they would be more likely to abandon the 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 therefore more ready to abjure the faith, which is the root of witchcraft" (121). This further shows how it would be much more likely for women to become witches since the naivety and impressionability of women is what would cause the faith to waver and recant. Sprenger and Kramer felt that the insatiable carnal desire that was part of women led them to witchcraft because their desire could not be satisfied and it would lead to involvement with the devil. Proverbs XXX states: “There are three things which are never satisfied, and even a fourth thing which does not say: It is enough; that is, the mouth of the uterus” (127). Women are basically seen as women obsessed with sexual encounters who cannot be satisfied by a man alone, so they would in turn get involved with the devil to fulfill their desires. This is also shown when a woman falsely accuses Joseph because he would not agree to have sex with her and he ends up in prison (121). As the selection explains, “when she hates someone she once loved, then she seethes with anger and impatience” (121). This shows how the lust of the woman who accused Joseph caused her wickedness to accuse him..
