For those of you who didn't go to Wesleyan, womyn is an alternative spelling for woman that doesn't have a "man" in it. ("Hey-hey, ho-ho, this penis party's got to go!") Since women is plural, I would have to say that womyn is plural, too. Therefore, womyns is not a word, and this is an apostrophe catastrophe.
Thanks to my friend Dinny for sending me this catastrophe from Vancouver!
