hey vio--i was looking through all the possible answers, and noticed 'women' is always spelled 'womyn' or 'wymyn.' why is that?

I'm interrupting but we had a poster on it in the Bundy bathroom moi_qui_reve November 15 2005, 09:24:24 UTC

To take the "man" out of the word.

I believe it's still pronounced the same way.
Related terms: herstory, womynufacture, etc.

it's only stupid if you think of it as written stupid person who doesn't know how to spell. I think that spelling it with a 'y' is more of a political statement than anything, arguing that, among other things, men don't always have to play a role in the lives of those who don't identify as men. It also makes sense that it would be in a quiz on "which feminist are you' becuase this spelling is very feminist.
