女性 (nǚxìng) - use '女人' when referring specifically to women in social contexts, while '女性' is more formal and often used in academic or official discussions.
'女人' is typically used in both formal and informal contexts, but be mindful of the tone. Avoid using it in derogatory or objectifying manners. Common collocations include '女人的权利' (women's rights) and '女人的角色' (roles of women).
