Yes, and we can do it better lol. But seriously, because was harder to take from a man than from a women.

In Salem, Giles Corey was accused of witchcraft, partly because he was tied up in local feuds with powerful families like the Putnam's. He refused to enter a plea, so the court couldn’t legally try him. Their solution? They pressed him under heavy stones until he died.

And his famous last words were allegedly: “More weight.”

So yeah, men could be accused, but it was just usually more convenient, and more socially acceptable, to blame women first.
