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.
