Bill Nye Explains the Universe

haha I love it when they get respected academics to swear. This one is right up there with Dawkins' "bitches" comment.
Well, he's an aircraft engineer by training. I'm sure those guys generally swear a lot
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Men do this sort of bullshit too, and so I see no reason to exclude them from mockery.

Oh, for fuck's sake, it's Amy Schumer! She does gender specific comedy based on her own observations, but she rips on both genders equally. I'm guessing she just has a lot of women friends that say dumb shit like this, so she was singling them out.
It's comedy, people. There's no need to be so anal about something that isn't meant to be taken seriously in the first place.

I believe that comedy fundamentally is a dead serious business. It is meant to be serious, some people just use the alleged lack of seriousness in comedy as an excuse to say stupid, bigoted or not well thought-out things. Good comedy acknowledges that it is serious. Even Monty Python's "ministry of silly walks" is serious.

I know, but you're German. We expect that from you.
