sheen

'polish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the female some men are after' is the wordplay.
'the female' becomes 'she' (I've seen this before).
'some men are' becomes 'en' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'she'+'en'='SHEEN'

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sheen that I've seen before include "Patina" , "Sureface shine" , "Glow" , "Superficial brightness" , "Surface gloss" .)
