No. Witchhunts did target more women than men but were often initiated by women & targetted a range of women from the mentally ill. disliked and those who claimed to be witches to earn money.

"By the time of the hunts, 4 out of every 5 victims were women (usually lower class & elderly) in places like England, with that number being reported jumping up to as high as 90% in other countries" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_trials_in_the_early_modern_period … You cant know the attitude of the women targetting them

Yes, that's more women than men. And not the strongest and most intelligent women were targetted. Personal grudges were the main cause.

How do I know that 80-90% is more than half? Or that working class & elderly people were not the strongest in society? Or how do I know about the history of witches? I studied the period for 7 years. You don't need to spend that long tho.

It may be Poe's law but I'm getting a feeling of hostility? Might be me, and although I am interested in this I have to go out, hopefully I'll get back to it later.
