And it's nearly always these Andrew-Tate-loving pound shop alphas.

Nah, it's not that deep--tons of men and women make this particular mistake (writing "women" when intending to use the singular "woman") for some bizarre reason. I've observed this phenomenon for well over a decade. Notably, I've never really seen someone write "woman" when they mean "women", only the other direction. And never with man/men at all. Very odd, specific error.

Maybe it's a "should of"-type mistake, I can only guess. But what I know for sure is that it's a very common mistake, and almost certainly unintentional.
