The word "Womyn" was coined over 20 years ago. It is not a recent development
of what you imagine is "PC." I have not seen any feminist writers use this
term in books or essays (not ever). I think it was fashionable on flyers in
the 60's. Nobody uses this word seriously any more. True, the word was
designed to express outrage and to probably to inflame people like you
(25 years ago).


Furthermore "PC" is not a movement. It was originally used by the left to
describe misguided or overly eager people on the left. Somehow, the word
has spread over to the right, where it is used to characterize ANY progressive
person or idea. "PC" means different things to conservatives and liberals--but
Rush and his followers are too crass to understand that.

Total nonsequitur jibberish!

Whether or not people actually believe in God is vital to your
whole agrument (and a Christain God at that) unless you think your beliefs
take precedence over others. The existence of God is not proven by any feat
of logic-- much less the existence of a Christain God. Who can can find the
causes and effects" that you mention anyway? (don't answer)

Your post would be downgraded far more-- by any standard.
Again, the word "Womyn" is not even used by feminists. I think you may be
reacting to some idiotic remark made by Rush, or perhaps to some overzealous
student organization resurrecting "Womyn" for shock-value or nostalgia.

Yeah right. In any case, I think that as far as you are concerned the word
"womyn" has performed its intended function nicely.
