    Yes? English is only my second language, but the way I hear it:

    Woman: Whoman

    Women: Wimin or Wimen

    The latter is much shorter.

    Huh, for me it's more like wuhmen vs wohman.

    The i-pronunciation is commonplace enough that some feminists who want to avoid the word “men” spell “women” as “wimmin”, i.e. the phonetic spelling.
