It's not great satire; it's lazy, thoughless satire that punches down and does it poorly. You think it's great satire because you agree with it. This has all the wit and charm of a Ramirez global warming cartoon.

So in other words anybody who finds it good satire or let alone funny agrees with what exactly?

Yes, I found it amusing, not ashamed to admit at all.

How does this "punch down", exactly?

First of all, why are you implying women are beneath you?

And second, it's a handful of NEETs satirizing an established academic discipline and an extremely popular and powerful political movement. How in the name of the lord does that constitute "punching down"?
