Looking at Ngram, the usage of the term "womyn" is still increasing, so it will be probably be used for the foreseeable future, expecially in feminist contexts:
- women (used chieflyin feminist literature as an alternative spelling to avoid the suggestion of sexism perceived in the sequence m-e-n).
Ngram: womyn.
