No, this was used by people in the past. In England Walton on Thames, Surrey, a British replica of a scold's bridle that was stolen in 1965, dated to 1633, is in a dedicated cabinet in the vestry of the church, with the inscription "Chester presents Walton with a bridle, To curb women's tongues that talk too idle." Oral tradition is this Chester lost a fortune due to a woman's gossip, and presented the instrument of restraint or torture out of anger and spite. The church states it came to the parish in 1723 from Chester. In Mozart's music The Magic Flute, Papageno is punished for lying by a "padlock on his mouth" in the Bergman movie of this music they used a realistic scold's bridle, which was probably the original idea of the writers. It also appears in modern pop culture video games as a player item, the video game Path of Exile, the Scold's Bridle is a rare unique item which causes a physical damage hit to the player each time that he/she casts a spell.The scold's bridle did not see much use in the New World and the Americas, though a mongrel black Olaudah Equiano recorded that it was commonly used to control loud shouting Virginia slaves? There were also stocks and the pillory is a device made of a wooden or metal framework erected on a post, with holes for securing the head and hands, formerly used for punishment by public humiliation, throwing eggs, tomatoes at nasty people. There were also human cages, Shrew's fiddle and a Stool of Repentance etc. When neo-Feminism came, the days of calling out witches ended? https://voat.co/v/Hiddenlol/4031262/25694453
