“Wimmin: A nonstandard spelling of the word ‘women’ used by feminists to avoid the word ending ‘-men,’” says the university glossary of terms.
The following report is by TND:
The University of Texas — Austin has come under fire for its promotion of alternatives to the term “Women” for those who are bothered by the “-men” suffix of the word.
The Office of Financial and Administrative Services at the university lists a glossary of terms on a webpage embedded within its “Diversity Commitment,” denoting them all as “language [that] matters.” Among the terms listed are “Wimmin,” “Womyn” and “Womxn,” which the glossary says are all alternatives to the traditional spelling of the word “Women.”
Wimmin: A nonstandard spelling of the word ‘women’ used by feminists to avoid the word ending ‘-men.’
The University of Texas glossary of terms lays out.
The University of Texas is now promoting the word "wimmin," so that students and faculty can "avoid the word ending in '-men.'"
According to UT, this is "empowering." pic.twitter.com/E6ef5MsI2T

UT used to be a force, now a farce.
