Really? I'm pretty sure he's not making fun of women, he's playing a character who's a woman.

Drag is funny (at least to me) because it's not making fun of women, it's a man doing an imperfect impersonation of a woman. Wig askew, make-up not quite right, funny stuff. Lucy got lots-o-laffs every time she donned male drag. It's not humor based on insult, but on the audience looking for little cues that tell them they're watching an impostor.

Anyhow, comedy is subjective. My grandma hated Carol Burnett (who did her own fair share of female drag characters) because she perceived Carol as making fun of old people. Pretty much anything that's funny to some people, won't be to others.

However, if you're still looking for some good examples of sexism in female comedy, listen to just about any woman who does stand-up. They all hate other women.
