Salaam Huruf,
I too see this thread being derailed. But I started this thread to show two things
1). Nisaa' does not (and cannot) mean women.
Such scholars keep talking in air and issuing verdicts. When it comes to specifics, they say we ignore. How naive!
The above four occurrences are not yet disputed that they signify this word as women. We move forward and see AnNisaa as an entity with whom intercourse is done.
in general sense is obscenity and has negative moral connotation of causing sexual harassment and is not desirable in public. It becomes positivistic when it is aimed and directed towards one's wife in the sense of incitement related preliminaries which will prepare the ground for her involvement and consent and could lead to both partners achieving "tranquility". This is the beginning, the ultimate of which is the most intimate act of matrimonial relationship. The verb is of Form-III which reflects mutuality. Arabic is the most decent language of the world. It conveys that in the most sophisticated and subtle manner which if explained and exposed in any other language the nudity will over brim.
If here this word does not mean women and because of possessive construction "the wives", then propose what you think it signifies.

denotes that sexual act which a man does only with a women. It needs enterance point. And that is specific only to women.
All members of the forum belong to what is denoted by Arabic word AnNaas. But they are further divided into men and women. Have a look on the signs appearing under their names. A woman cannot be a man and a man cannot be represented by similar sign.
See AnNisaa means only and only women.
Those scholars who are starting afresh should tell who are these with whom you have "entered"?
