I always thought it was a mistake or joke.

Note the following:

"Usage of "womyn" and related terms is essentially nonexistent outside of some segments of feminism. Opponents of it see it as unnecessary, and argue that it is based on a misinterpretation of the words "man"/"men" and "male." They cite the etymology of the terms "man" and "woman," and note that both the origin and current usage of the two words are already gender-neutral. Furthermore, since "womyn" and its related terms have not been accepted as standard English words, using these terminologies outside of the small circles that have universally adopted them will often be seen as grammatically incorrect or semantically meaningless. Subsequently, those who choose to use the terms will often be taken less seriously and credibly by serious academics and common people alike."
