TSTw is a womens ski. Shorter lengths, different graphics, etc

Well is it weird or anything if I ski on a womens ski? The length is fine for me. And i'm light and would like a more buttery ski so would it be fine?

sure!

they might also be a tad bit softer as happens more often with women skis, but thats it ...

it's not like they have tampon holders or anything, they'll ski just fine :)

They are nicer graphics. Like already pointed out, they'll just be softer.
If you look at the flex scale Armada gives, they've dialed down the stiffness of the TSTw by .5. It shouldn't be much.

Women's skis are designed to be mounted more forward due to their lower center of gravity

i'm pretty sure my center of gravity is much lower than that of a women....

mainly because of my "balls of steel" and because women have "bewbs" which make em top-heavy...
