It's weird that a lot of people mix up woman/women, but no one seems to mix up man/men, amirite?

Because of the Wo part in the words.

Why would that be confusing?

I don't find it confusing how to spell it. I am just suggesting maybe why people would find it confusing.

Yeah, now that you mention it, I've seen that too. My only theory is that "women" and "woman" sound more alike than "men" and "man". I know it sounds silly, since if you pronounce them correctly they don't, but when people are talking they tend to pronouce certain words lazily.

What's the difference in the pronunciation between women and woman?

It's because women are complicated creatures

Man/Men is one syllable so it's easier, I figure.
