I suspect it isn't any one reason. I think one major contributing factor is the widespread acceptance of misogyny.

As for your statement that women on Facebook "like what they see posted" ... I don't even know what to say. Just because women remain active users of facebook does not indicate that they're completely happy with everything posted on it, or the enforcement of community standards.
