I'll lock in Robin's note, approve to shorten the queue, and reopen for a while in case there's more discussion.

The entry is not just for standalone 女 as the first sense has the n-pref PoS as well.

I don't think so. Some おんな compounds do sound "blunt", and it goes without saying that the note doesn't apply to terms like 女坂.
This entry is for the standalone word 女/おんな. I don't think we need to complicate things by mentioning compounds.
