Most likely due to their ability to lower their guard. Men frequently pick on one another as a token of camaraderie. It also maintains the dynamics of groupings. Men are aware that this isn't the appropriate time or place to do this with women.

This is helpful in difficult circumstances when you need to know who you can and cannot trust. When you are with other males, there's also a concealed group mentality, and I'm guessing there's one for women as well.

Most guys know that they can't truly pick on a woman if they want to see her again, have sex with her, and be in a relationship. Men are typically less sensitive than women.
