*Sigh* Do you still remember the times when you were free to think what you wanted and simply ignored the preachers for and against everything?

Yes! And when women stayed home and kept house, didn't get to vote, own property, or get educated; and it was still legal to beat your wife with a stick (provided it was less than one inch thick).
Fortunately for both sexes, we have moved away from those days...

Nietzsche would have recommended a whip. Still, what is the relevance? Do you think someone dragged them before a camera and forced them to do this? Would it be ok if we had a laugh about people from another continent? For you perhaps, but then the next guy would pop up and tell me how evil that is.
Tell you what, I'm an equal opportunity laugher. I don't care who happens to make a fool of itself (note the neutral choice of words!) I laugh at all of them.

Your overwhelming politically correct stance in life is staggering to my senses.

Agreed. I thought at first he was just teasing about it being sexist. Shamefully, it appears he was not. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Everybody to his own, I guess. It's just that I automatically get sceptical of the motives when somebody starts preaching.

Gonna have to admit I didn't know it was OK to use a bigger stick now.

A video about women having trouble filling up? No!!!!!! Don't be so sensitive.
Disclaimer: I don't read or understand German (or whatever it was) but the title at least "Women while refueling" is not sexist at all.

One wonders why more women don't video them and post on Youtube. Maybe because women actually have better things to do with their time.

Too busy taking selfies to share, I'd wager!

Fist time I saw this happen, a male friend of mine was the driver. We made a lot of laughs about it later. Was that sexist as well, or is it sexist only when a female is laughed at?

No, it wasn't sexist, it was funny.
But posting it up to youtube with a collection of other people of the same sex and give it a title like "Women while refueling" would be, because the implication is that this is how women will do it.
There are few enough women in this industry - and even fewer here - partly because of postings like this. Would it be acceptable to single out a different group for a similar collection? Disabled people perhaps? Indians? Rednecks? Muslims? Heck, you'd get shouted down if you did one with just ginger haired people!

That's ridiculous.
Could it be that most of them are just way to cool to play with the nerds? They simply have zero interest in this kind of work.
Then there are those who heard that you can earn good money with this kind of work. When I studied, we started out in the first semester with a healthy ratio of something like 20:1. Most I knew tried this in hope of a well paid job, but over time they all gave up. Nobody scared them away. It was their lack of interest that made them quit. They were bored to death. Math, data structures, algorithm, assembly, hardware up and down, how to write a compiler, databases - all not very sexy.
In the end we had only very few left who obviously had found something that kept their attention beyond the prospect of getting a good job some day.
Cuddle them all you want, it will not change very much.
