Yes they did love to blame men’s missteps on those irrepressible sex-crazed women. Damn, where are those women today?
One detail that late medieval confessional positively harp on is the idea that women are secretly sneaking aphrodisiacs—often menstrual blood—into men’s food, to wear their resistance down.
One wonders how many women would never have thought of this, except that the priest kept checking to make sure they weren’t doing it.
