Okay, apparently the select the missing word questions do not like right to left - the sentence temporarily came out as נשים הן instead of הן נשים. Colour me momentarily confusled... 8-o
I figured! It struck me as amusing as much as anything. Though very confusing for a moment!
Oh dear! It's been working right for me for a while (Safari on iOS). Maybe the fix isn't universal :(

If anything the question should be why isn't it "אישות" because the singular is "אישה".
There's an old Aramaic word for man that made it into Hebrew: "נש". Although it is masculine, this is used mostly as a gender-neutral person. And yet נשים is obviously derived from that while still being the plural of אישה.
So the answer to your "why" question is "because languages are weird"

Are you sure? This is also the suggested translation. What was your error message?
