Feminists often use words such as "womyn", "womxn", "femxle", "womban", "womon", "wombyn", "wimmin", and variations of this. They claim because the words "woman" and "female" have "-man" and "-male" in them, they define women/females by reference to men/males and are offensive/triggering.
They further have issues with any words that end in "-man" and "-male" because these words define things by reference to men/males.
There is an article on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Womyn
What are your thoughts on these claims? Do you have arguments against them?
