US University Changes Spelling Of 'Women' To Avoid Adding 'Men' by AntiTerrorist(op): 4:28pm On May 04, 2023
The university's Office of Financial and Administrative Services revealed a list of terms on a webpage embedded within its "Diversity Commitment," denoting them all as "language [that] matters."

"Wimmin, Womyn and Womxn" were on the list released by the University of Texas. The term "Wimmin" was described as "A nonstandard spelling of the word 'women' used by feminists to avoid the word ending '- men."

Furthermore, "Womxn" could be used "to get away from patriarchal language."

I pity young Nigerian ladies who are coping this confused these Oyinbos. If retired feminists in western countries are regretting their past negative gender activism, a black poor Nigerian woman will regret times hundred more.

Try to open a new gmail address. It will ask you to choose either male or female, or if you want to customise it. Choose customise, then write anything there as your gender.

My gender from yesterday when I had to open a new email address was "attack helicopter". So from now guys, I'm an helicopter, and my new pronoun is "engine oil". Lol

A short human will always think he is being looked down on



Now this is becoming to sound like inferiority complex as I don't see how changing the spell of a name will add value to a person

I am a black strong male and I currently identify as a white female lesbian. My pronoun is white lesbian, since everyone is going crazy.

If they like they should use mumu.

My concern is Africans getting a common language and Nigerians using one. We really need to make English language a secondary language . angry
