Good question. The technical reason is that woman.el begins with
(require 'man), so when you do M-x man, it autoloads `woman', which
loads `man', which redefines `man' thus overwriting your defalias.
So you have to do
(defalias 'man 'woman)
(eval-after-load 'woman '(defalias 'man 'woman))
to get what you want,
