Alright, so I've been seeing many things- mainly on Tumblr, that my friend shows me- of people using the term "womyn" instead of "woman/women". It's super confusing. Most of them, who are part of the feminist movement (the radical side) are trying to change the word because it has man in it, and apparently it means "of men" to them. The first I heard of this was in grade 7, when we all had to make advertisements and products, and a couple of my female peers pretended to make hipster clothes. They referred to women as womyn because "women means of men and that's oppressive because we're strong individuals." The thing is, who the fuck cares? Just because it has the word man/men in it, that doesn't mean it means something. Just keep the English language as it is, please.
