That word, I mean non-word, womxn: how to say it

My husband sometimes calls me a minx.

It's pronounced "wominks"

In that case they've spelt it wrong. Twerps.

Also, why are you assuming no fuss was made about the other idiocies? Some of us did, if you count refusing to join in the idiocy by using the perfectly good word woman as making a fuss. Yes it contains 'man' but so does mankind, which refers to all human beings, not just male ones.

Quite so, riverwalk. Pissing about with what works perfectly well already covers all of it. If it aint broke don't fix it.

The word woman, and its meaning, aint broke.

Trisher this spelling emanates from transgender politics, not from traditional feminists.

Women are women and there's no need to piss about with the spelling.

Many of us have been women for around 50 years or more. I don't want to be a womxn/wominks. Still happy to be a woman.

If that is the case, what is wrong with lady?

My son has been told to address his ‘ non- binary’ students as Mx ( pronounced Mix) followed by their surname.

( Oh, and ‘ Oh, for God’s sake! ‘)

It's pronounced "wominks" and it is just the latest in feminism's attempts to lose the word woman or women because the word uses "man" and so some think diminishes women. The others include wymyn and wimmin. Really it's been a debate for over 50 years why make such a fuss now?

I pronounce womxn "bull shit" with the stress on the bull.

I had never heard/seen it before - frankly I wish I hadn't.

I call it the ‘c’ word

Spot on sooziewoozie to all your comments. I’d just like to add that here’s no such thing, in reality, as ‘cis’ women or ‘cis’ men.

Suzie is right. I just pronounce it 'no'.

Ms was about equality not about making women disappear

At least Ms is pronounceable, kamiso ?

Loving your posts, suziewoozie ?

Bollox indeed!

Who knows? Ms used to seem odd but is now mainstream.

It honestly is completely irrelevant about how a made up word aimed at the erasure of women as a biological class is pronounced. The people using it are generally nasty goady misogynists which is why the word is pronounced bollocks. And let’s face of it, most of the people using the word still have them (physically that is)

Oh, for God’s sake!!?

I read the OP and thought "Another heading with a typo in it"

I didn't even know that word existed. Perhaps the "x" is pronounced as a click such as occurs in the word Xhosa as well as the language.

Or, if I’m feeling inclusive, women and transwomen

Or simply ‘woman’

I pronounce it ‘Bollocks’.
