AUSTIN, Texas (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.”
