"Woman" denotes a sexually mature female. It connotes someone who is emotionally mature and matronly. You wouldn't call a young female, a woman. I call emotionally mature females over the age of thirty-five women. I don't see myself as a "man." I am still too much a child in many good ways, and a few bad ways. Even as a child, I was responsible. I wouldn't call Steve Irwin a man, because he had a boyish spirit. I am a lot like Steve Irwin. I have the enthuaism, the imagination, the curiosity, and the rambunctousness of child.. Women are going to find me too childish. I wouldn't call a 23 year-old female, a woman. Nor would I call her a girl. When a female is too old to be called a girl and not old enough to be a woman, I call her a female. "Female" is an all inclusive term. "Woman" only refers to sexually mature, emotionally mature, staid females.
