LeZ hommes ont des femmes. No liaison between hommes and ont;
I can't really explain why no liaison here; but that's the way to say. Probably because there is already one between les and hommes.
Sorry I can't be more precise.
I'm sorry to disagree with what has been said but there should be a liaison between "hommes" and "ont".
If a word is ended with a consonant (such as T, D, S, N and so on) and the next word starts with a vowel, liaison has to be made. There are exceptions but here it's not one of them.
In this case, it should sound like : "les Zhommes Zont".
Sometimes, when french people speak, they tend to "oralize" the language and skip some rules, as to be faster or to ease the diction, which explains the natural disappearence of the liaison. But if you stick to the rules, then it must be made.
Hope I helped ;)
Ah ah! Well, there are rules and there is real life..
We don't say leZ hommeZ ont: no one would understand. It would be totally weird.

I am curious as to why liaisons sometimes occur and sometimes don't, such as:
Les hommes ont des femmes
hommeS _Ont
sounds like:
homme zont
or
homme ont?
