In yet another bend-the-knee moment of wokesim, the Scripps National Spelling Bee will now allow an alternative spelling of the word “women.”

In their latest list of study words for third-graders hoping to compete in the national competition, the word “women” can now also be spelled in the feminist-approved way as “womyn.”

Fox News reports: 

A spokesperson for Scripps explained to Fox News Digital that all words Scripps uses in its program are pulled from the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary, which has the alternate spelling for “women.”

“All of the words used in the Scripps National Spelling Bee program are pulled from our official dictionary, Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary. During competition, our policy is to accept any correct spelling listed in our official dictionary that isn’t marked archaic or obsolete. The alternate spelling ‘womyn’ is therefore included on our study list because it is listed as an alternate spelling for ‘women’ in Merriam-Webster,” a spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

“In building our study lists, we aim to include alternate spellings for any words that have them listed in Merriam-Webster. The Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary is the final authority and sole source for the spelling of all words offered in competition,” the statement continued.

According to Merriam-Webster,the alternate (incorrect) spelling is “used in some feminist contexts,” apparently so feminists don’t have to use the term men.

Jonathan Turley notes, “’Womyn,’ however, has itself now been criticized as offensive. While some feminists wanted to de-masculinize the word and use either womyn or womxn, transgender advocates oppose the term because it is used by feminists who exclude transgender individuals. They also reject the alternative of “wombyn” as referring to a person with a womb as an alternative. That has led some, such as Jennie Kermode, chair of Trans Media Watch, to reject the term ‘womxn’ in favor of ‘women’ as now encompassing trans women.”

The move is so ridiculous the parody site Babylon Bee mocked how wokeism is infecting everything, even spelling bees.
