    Because the a in woman is pronounced the same way the e in women is pronounced…

    woman = wum-en
    women = wim-in

    Yeah I’m gonna have to disagree with you there, chief.

      i always eas taught the plural to be pronounced as “wi-men” I also cannot remember any english TV show or so to talk about wimin, so where the second ibis explicit as an i and distinguishable from an e
