    Not sure what you’re trying to say, but not a single one of those words pronounce the “wo” like it is in “women.”

      Womb and women are pronounced the same (well, except the ending).
      Unless it’s a local dialect thing where “women” is pronounced “wimin”?

        Nobody I’ve ever heard pronounces it “woo-min”, only “wimmin.” Definitely not a local dialect.

          Well, if you heard me, I pronounce “women” like “womb”.
          Maybe I have the local dialect.

            Are you from PNW? I think I remember a video from reddit where someone said woo-min and a commenter said they’re from there and say it like that.
