"Statistically significant" is not the same as "significant". Statistically significant means greater than the margin of error. It could be that the have a smaller sample size for men, or that both decreases are close to the margin of error, but the decrease for women is slightly higher than for men. Keep in mind those 1 percents are rounded, so they may not be equal.
