Dangerous female responsible for some men's ire naturally (5)

I believe the answer is:

siren

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dangerous female' is the definition.
'siren' can be an answer for 'female' (siren is a kind of female). I'm unsure of the 'dangerous' bit.

'some men's ire naturally' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'SIREN' is hidden within 'mens ire naturally'.

'responsible for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for siren that I've seen before include "'Delilah!'" , "Device producing a loud wailing sound as a signal" , "She tempts" , "Loud whistle or kind of witch" , "Loud whistle or dangerous woman" .)
