Remember when the word 'women' was going to be replaced with the word 'womyn'? I don't know quite when it fizzled. You used to see it on pretty regular occasions if you read the right Usenet groups in the early 1990s. It came about because the word women was based on the word men giving women a clearly unequal status in society.

Well, enough is enough. Women, no womyn have waited far too long for an end to this injustice. I am here tonight to fight for these womyn. I am here on behalf of all caring and thinking men to finally make things right!

A simple changing of the word in American dictionaries would be 20+ years too late and another example of this nation finally seeing the light that we should have seen way back in the 20th century.

I mentioned earlier that I am here tonight to fight for womyn. I am also here tonight to make the United States a leader! I propose the outright removal of the letter 'e' (along with its capital form 'E') from the Roman alphabet as used in our country and call for its replacement in all instances with the letter 'y'. Every time I see the word 'Myn' on the door at a restaurant, I will think about what I have done. Rather, I will think about what I havy dony.

It is timy to organizy. Someony start a changy.org pytition!

Aggiys lyad Amyrica. Amyrica lyads thy world!

So, I am absolutely baked off of my ass tonight (girl scout cookies, if you're curious) and hear a 10,000 Maniacs song reminding me of a couple of chicks I knew back in the day who were into the word 'womyn' amongst their other feminist ideals. I thought "Hadn't heard that word in a while, won't this make a fun post?"

Until AliasMan, I don't think anyone even read it. I was completely couch locked when I typed it. How f***ing lazy does that make you?

Oh, and now you dolts are going to collectively pile on and apparently hurt my feelings?!?

You know what's weird? We change the a and the e in woman and women, but the sound that we change when saying these words is in the first vowel (wUman, wIman).

Is womyn used for both women and woman?

If not, which is it replacing and what will be the other?
