He literally said that women should not be allowed to work in laboratories. He also didn't say it in private - he said it during a public speech at a function for female scientists. He deserved to be fired.

[...] Fry seems to think directly abusing students is less bad than someone making a joke about their own romance and calling himself a bad old evil sexist.

Because why should the alt-right have a coherent ideology aside from "fuck the libs." It's not like they actually give a shit about the faux-outrage they stoked. Anti-PC is their bread and butter. If it were one of their own saying those things, they'd not have said a damn thing.
