Because
A) That's what the statistics we actually have say, and you haven't provided a decent argument as to why we should assume women are so undercounted as to reverse the trend.
B) To mirror your "most child abusers are women" argument, most sexual abusers are men. So why do you assume the relevant supercategory of "child sexual abuse" is "child abuse" and not "sexual abuse"?
A. There are many, many researchers and academics who concur on this point. One example is Steven B. Blum, a consulting psychologist to a sex offender program in Nebraska. Zoe Hilton of the NSPCC is another. And here's an eye-opening bit of muckraking:
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/love-sex/taboo-tolerance/female-sexual-abuse-the-untold-story-of-societys-last-taboo-1767688.html
Cites for those two, please? I can find a lot of comments saying that female sexual abuse is under-reported and I'm certain that's true. I cannot find anything suggesting the under-reporting is so bad that the real figure is over 50%.
B. Most murderers are men, but the majority of child killers are women. There is every reason to apply the same logic to sex offenders.
Actually, I looked into that a bit further, and I'm not sure that's true. Women are more likely to kill infants up to the first week of life, but men are more likely to kill after that. (
source). Most infant death happens in that period, contributing to the numbers for murderesses over murderers, but overall there are more men, I think. Couldn't find good numbers on that.
Anyway, it seems clear that women as child killers are mostly driven by effects during the first week after birth, probably
postpartum psychosis or related phenomena. Even if it was true that women are more likely to kill children than men* it's because of a specific effect that doesn't transfer to the sexual abuse scenario.
*Your source doesn't even say that, it just says that mothers are the highest risk group at 45%, not stating if there are any other women killers to fill the needed 5% to reach parity. It's a pretty small sample, too, only 101 victims.

I think this deserves its own thread.
But anyway, here's some idiocy:
Integration, is one of the worst things to ever happen to Black people, and is the worst thing we continue to let happen.
-Unite as a people first.
-Build ourselves up first,
-Build our wealth/Finances
-Get rid of our unemployment rate.
-Strengthen our Black Families (stop all that side bitch/hoe nonesense)
-Fall in Love with our men and women and date and marry out own Black Women and Men.
-Strengthen our black neighborhoods.
They’ve done it themselves. And they’ll call you Racist for even thinking of doing it. The “New Black” fails to see that’s hes what’s being destroyed as he leaves his/her history behind trying to forget the past. Not knowing that we’re all, as blacks currently living in the past. They’ve convinced them that Racism is over now that its more silent. We’re many steps behind them and unequal in their, but they preach equality to get you to move on and not get what their race already has. They’re all well built families and well gathered to the point where they’re together all the time, in businesses and family wise. But they’ve got us separated to the point, that they can make us sing and come together Only when one of our people die/get shot. And when it’s over we disperse. We’re not going to get anything accomplished this way.
Integration, is one of the worst things to ever happen to Black people. A race that lives in the same place as its oppressors and lives their oppressors way, and working for their oppressors, and stay unequal without building solely for their people, are a people that will be erased, slowly. They killed Malcom X for speaking these words, because they know. There is a reason Black Wall Street was Bombed and Burned down.
Where do I even begin with this nonsense?
