Watch a man and a women touch their toes from the side. Women bend primarily at the hips. Men bend both at the hips and a significant amount above the pelvis. Men roll their hips forward less than women on the bike because they bend at the waist.

You can fight that, but it is the natural way we bend, and allows hamstrings to support the upper body on the bike.
Men tend to have tighter hamstrings.
