Most wouldn’t notice such subtle sexism, but it’s still worth fending off the appearance of it.
I wouldn’t change this video (except that including a female face among the “well known naturalists” is a good idea if possible); I’d create an additional one aimed at contrasting the fair treatment and respect women can expect from naturalist thinkers as opposed to naive-traditional or ideological-religious ones.
As for your first suggestion, although I don’t know what it feels like to be introduced to “naturalism”, I think it’s a mistake to lead with maximum rigor. The level of difficulty seemed appropriate to me.
As I saw it, the purpose of this video was to suggest that naturalists might be nice, happy, cool people, as opposed to, say, baby eaters—to motivate people to actually entertain the site’s writings.
