Bruce, Jack Kelley from gracethrufaith.com gives a good explanation for this verse.
 
Dan 11:37  Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
 
This verse is about not regarding any gods, he is above all gods, and so anything to do with women is out of place there.
Jewish women desired to be the mother of the messiah, and so, "neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women (the Messiah), nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all".
