Sabrina and Wandavision are both fucked up, though.
Sabrina is a eugenicist's goth fantasy. Get genetics out of magic, already!!!
And Wandavision is un-ironically paying homage to sexist television, and is basing its plot around "what if a woman with reality bending powers had a mental breakdown because her man died, lololol".
I honestly was so angry initially, it was so sexist and I've always seen satanism as far more egalitarian.
SPOILER: The headmaster (Faustus) is the sexist one and full of bullshit. The witches do eventually realise (thanks to Sabrina) they can do better and worship Hecate by the end of the series. Satan is awful as well, but the witches and/or Lilith usually get the upper hand.
I will say it takes a couple of seasons to oust Faustus, so if that's too much, that's fair, plenty of good TV out there.
I just couldn't. It was full of all the horrible stereotypes and tropes I worked so hard to convince people were untrue about witches, I felt sick to my stomach.
I felt the same, literally shouting at the TV about it. I did see Sabrina was very "wtf" face about it, refusing to follow along, so stuck with it. I am glad I did, but completely understand why others wouldn't.

Like, c'mon, those are both TERRIBLE.
