Answers: Yes, Yes and No.

How ironic that in a post pointing out the kind of sexist answers one gets when discussing these matters the very first comment is exactly the response talked about in the OP.

Instead of falling back into ingrained sexism (you really think men are that much funnier than women?) how about you take a moment to examine how ridiculous this statement is and look for the real reasons behind it, that women are not being given the chances and the exposure that men are. That women are so easily dismissed. If this were to be changed I think the world would discover a large number of extremely talented and capable comedians and media representatives. We're missing out really.
