As with any cellular signal, only cells that are expressing receptors on their cell surface for a particular signal will be effected. In the case of your question, only cells in a womens body that are expressing specific receptors for reproductive hormones will respond to those hormones.
How some cells know to have receptors and others do not is a mystery to science still. It is likely determined by a combination of environmental and genetic cues during development.

∙ 13y agothis is because cells in the reproductive organs have 'receptors' on their surface which are specific to the reproductive hormones. In other words the the gate of entry for reproductive Hormones (RH) are present only on the cells of reproductive organs and hence the other cells do not respond to the RHs.
Hope this was helpful
