He has in fact hedged the shit out of that very point with this wording, because he knows that going all the way there in one moment would have derailed the rest of his speech. He also knows that once the dust settles there will be an almighty kerfuffle in the Reichstag over the actual legislative implementation of that decree. They will eventually have to come to him for clarification, and then he can make that part happen when he's not speaking on national radio. Calmly. Coolly. Entirely without incident.

"It seems to me that any woman might be, or have been, a witch, Herr Chancellor. Surely that distinction is for Providence to make, not we poor men."

(In practice, the difference will probably be that non-witches will have to wait for majority to exercise most of their rights, just as men do. Which will probably cause its own problems, but every society would have to grapple with the inherent inequality in a situation where some people have literal superpowers and some don't.)

Yep. This ain't Fritz's first rodeo. ;)
