I agree it is skewed towards a male sense of humor.
I tend to fairly feminine in a lot of ways. I will even get very annoyed if another male starts making jokes / disparaging remarks aimed at women. So by itself, I would never continue watching a show that made too many sexists remarks.
However, I get a strong sense the show writer is not misogynistic nor is pushing a misogynistic message. I think he just wanted to create this extremely intelligent, funny and clever character in Rick. Yet simultaneously Rick makes extremely poor decisions, is a total jerk, and has awful social skills.
When I am able to resonate with a dynamic, lifelike character in a TV show, I am able use it as catalyst to work through concepts I would have difficulty with in 'real life'. With a character like Rick, I able to work through a few 'shadow' concepts while inevitably turning towards the light and doing the right thing, as Rick almost always does in the end.
