A female's pelvis is generally wider than a male, to allow childbirth. As the "sit bones" are part of the pelvis, these too end up wider apart for women. So for the saddle to meet up with the sit bones in the same way for both men and women, women often use wider saddles.

Firts off, not all of them have.

For those who have it is to put less pressure on the sensitive soft tissues right between the legs. The idea is that the sitbones should carry most of the weight.

There's an area in the crotch called the perineum, which rests against the saddle. If you get too much pressure there you can pinch some nerves and get into all kinds of discomfort. One way to relieve that pressure is by using a saddle with a cutout. It may be only a depression in the padding, but can also be a hole.
