From the comments:
"So, any word that happens to have "men" in it is gendered? Does that mean words that menopause and menstruate are gendered? If so, should it be womenopause and womenstruate?"
"But to say "womenstruate" would be an erasure of men who menstruate.....We should say "personstruate.""
"It take a lot to win “dumbest thing on Twitter” but this is in the running."
"The nerve of them to leave out the other 185 genders."

"Amen" and "Awomen" are both confused. "A" denotes singular but "men" and "women" are plural. It makes no sense putting "A" together with "men" or "women." Henceforth, let's just go with "Aperson".

Just when you thought that this forum couldn't get more "Ax-ey," you're proven wrong.

I have been telling you for over 20 years that the Left is crazy, and modern liberalism was a mental disease.

This displays a monuwomental ignorance of etymology.

I noted a major problem.
"Woman" also contains the word "man". Iterating the above substitution process yields wowoman, wowowoman etc.
I believe the only rescue from this problem is to use some linguistic fixed point combinator, like μX.woX, that stands for the infinite expansion "wowowowowo..." of the above process.

Careful. If you try to understand today's left it will pull you down into a black hole and suck all your brain cells out.

Amen and Awomen fails to address non-binary individuals. How offensive!
