Why is it viewed as less serious?

Because women have been treated very unfairly in the past by men, and too often still are, even in developed countries. It wasn't that long ago that women were expected to be nothing more than maids, sex slaves and cooks. It wasn't really that long ago that if a women tried to vote she could get arrested, and women were treated like scum if they wanted to take on a male-dominated job, like being a doctor or a firefighter. Sexist pigs make those stupid kitchen jokes, but if a woman gets a career as a chef cooking in a four-star restaurant, watch out!
It's like, "oh woman have smaller muscles so they're weak and therefore inferior and stupid." Women have to work a hundred times harder than a man to be thought of half as good. Nothing has really changed at all, in fact I'm fearful that soon we'll go back to the days where women won't be able to go anywhere without a man, beating a wife because she did something like put too much salt in the meal will become acceptable in this part of the world, and we'll no longer be allowed to wear pants or expose the skin on our eyelids in public.
I guess there's too much of a double standard. But if a guy hates women it might be for something like, "Girls won't go out with me because women have too much freedom and we need to do something to stop that." And then they become terrorists or go on a mass killing spree where the victims are all female. If a woman hates men it might be for something like being molested or raped by a man.

Women seem to dislike 'adult men' much more than teenage boys/adolescents don't they?

I think a lot of it is double standard. If someone had made a video and directed it at Clinton, like the one Robert De Niro directed at Trump calling him a dog, a pig an idiot, that he'd like to punch in the face, it would probably be viewed as completely misogynistic, like a hate crime, would probably get banned off YouTube etc.
Pretty much what Lostonearth said. Also, females will seldom be a physical threat to men. I doubt a lot of men feel fear passing by a group of loud girls/ women, hoping they won't harass him or worse. Females seldom have a way to discriminate, as the majority of bosses and other decision makers are male.
