I know I'm not Libby, but! 

My development of the system is based on historical views on the female. They have their place and their place is under the 'head of the family' (aka the female witch) most do it because that is how it is alway done. They go from the protection of their mothers and sisters to their covent.  Some hate it, some don't mind it and some don't know that there is any other way. Male witches that came from outside magic tend to really struggle with the idea of being under a woman. They tend to reject it and get killed for being untrained, thus perpetuating the idea that male witches are too weak to be without a female leader and some are 'encourage' to find a kind witch 'for their own safety'. But every once and a while you get a powerful male witch who don't need no woman. 


Basically: There are no rules, humans are just sheep in the wills of the world.
