IRL 'witch' is a genderless term too. The media likes to make it seem like 'witch' is girls only, but I don't know any pagans IRL that actually draw that distinction. Wicca in particular calls both genders 'witches', and 'wizard' is more like an honorific you get for being a particularly wise witch.

My interpretation is that "witch" is more for the cooking type of magic, while "wizard" is more for the baking type. As in, a witch goes by vibes and is generally more improvisational, while a wizard is a nerd who is very exact about everything.

That about sums up the Terry Pratchett Discworld witches and wizards.

Tell her what? That she's in a book and isn't representative of reality?

Lighten up. It's called a joke. They come in a lot of different forms. What most have in common is some sort of subversion of expectation. You expect me to be able to tell the difference between a real person and a fictional character. I wrote as if I wasn't able to. The proper response to that would have been to laugh.

Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.
