While it's common for ALL moms around the world to censor what entertainment their sons and husbands enjoy, America gets screwed over by how there's a lack of space for women's entertainment in geeky media. Japan mostly circumvented this by establishing girls' and women's manga and dating/eroge games which is why censorship isn't as bad for men's stuff when compared to what goes on in the West. As long as the girls get their own clubhouse, they'll usually leave the boys alone.
We don't really have that kind of thing for girls, at least in terms of infrastructure (blame the long-term consequences of the Comics Code). So the girls feel like they're not included at all, and the resulting attitude is "if I can't get what I want, you won't get what you want". This is also further screwed by how American culture generally looks down on geeky media being for kids or manchildren, so any potentially interested women feel even MORE left out.

Because dads are generally more lax about mature material in media aimed at their sons. So what if Tommy sees some cleavage or watches dismemberment? That's just an opportunity for bonding. Moms get uncomfortable because seeing that reminds them that their boys will leave the nest sooner than they think...and also because a lot of media aimed at men is admittedly misogynistic/chauvinist: not so much in that it sexualizes women, but in how women are dismissed/plot devices/forgettable, and women REALLY do not like the idea of a story where they don't matter outside of being treated like a literal object. They have a sixth sense for that shit.
