Sounds like an edict from the Emperor. It’s not only that “women” is verboten, but also “woman.” Most males have a hell of a time saying “women” and many of these have never said it and never will. But “woman” has always been ok even as representing the plural, because not associated with feminism, because feminists refer to each other in the plural as in “we women” or a collective.

TiMs also use the word “Womanhood” and “ladies” frequently because these are safely distant words belonging to another era when women were mere fixtures and far removed in time and place from today’s scary "terfs" and "transphobes."
