This is a term used by feminists who feel that having the word "man" in the word "woman" makes women a subset of men. So, to make themselves a non subset, they changed the letter 'e' to a 'y'.

Another spelling for "women" coined by neurotic feminists for other equally neurotic feminists with the unbridled arrogant mindset that their dated, selfish, totally "unequal" cause justly warrants a ridiculous, contrary-to-diction respelling of an long accepted, objective English word.
"I am a gentleman. I respect women for their independence and ability to hold children unlike myself. I could never do that."
"Shut the hell up you misogynistic pig and learn to spell correctly. Your diction exhibits hatred and inequality. It's "womyn" now. Sucks to be a man like yourself with your dirty penis. I will never have a boyfriend or a husband because men will never go for me because I am most likely ugly, overly arrogant, and/or had a past relationship with an abnormal man who misrepresented an entire population which in consequence has caused a psychological distress and/or neurosis within my mind to reject the entire male population as hopeful and/or completely acceptable."

feminists use this word because they don’t like the actual spelling because it contains the word “man”.

The way feminists decided to spell Woman/Women to avoid the words Man and Men. One thing they forgot about though, Males have a Y chromosome.
Karen: I wan't to start spelling Women/Woman with a Y and be a little bitch about the word man/men!
Madlad Pete: Males have Y chromosomes.
Karen: *Autistic Screaming*
Madlad Pete: Womyn also looks stupid.
Karen: *Autistic Screaming Increases*

Womyn is a portmanteau (blend of two or more words) of the words "women," and "wyrm."
A wyrm is a scary, flightless dragon. Feminists believed if men associated women with dangerous reptilian creatures, that they would respect women more.

"Before there was Feminism, there were Womyn. We are Womyn Born With a Why and Who Love Our Men.
Wild yet protected, wise in the knowledge of a life lived by no man who can empathize or actualize her sacred scars & feelings. A Womyn is a self-reliant female with a 'knowing' of seasons, due to moon-phase synced cycles, no need to add or subtract.
A feminine perspective that challenges new-world definitions. An honoring of the ways of our Ancestors that see the mother in all Womyn. Divine Union is of great regard: Womyn, Man, Child makes the value of Womyn quite evident. No need to take away from others to define what is naturally true. Keeping it simple: A natural-born Womyn is the one who gave birth to someone, like you.

Much Like the Ocean, Goddess In Motion, Flowing Like Water, Shifting As Moon. She is a Womyn, Shaping & Molding, Life in Her Bosom, Her Breastmilk, and Womb.

An "alternative" spelling of "a woman". It is mostly used by trans-exclusive radical feminists (terfs, "feminazis"). They often want to make absolutely clear that """men""" don't belong into the feminist circles and that feminism is only about women's rights when it is obviously not.
I say womyn bc feminism is only about the rights of cis women!!! "Women" are not just a different kind of men! No man pretending to be womyn allowed!!
Well, you obviously don't know anything about feminism and the troubles men and trans people face so f*ck you
