Is Wing Chun the same as Wing Tsun?

Wing Chun, in its know form, is very basic and simplistic. The funny thing is, Wing Chun was created for women to defend themselves in the small alleyways of china.The men back then had no respect for the women and would randomly grab them in the streets. All of the attacks and defenses are close to the body and the main stance(hourglass of pigeon-toe stance) is designed to block the groin. The stance kept men from grabbing the woman's crotch. The guard is tight to the body and protects the chest, which prevented men from grabbing the woman's chest.
