No one was insulting men, so it doesn't really make sense for you to bring it up. You took it upon yourself to try and be facetious and it failed. What you said, someone found offensive. Now that you've been called on it, you're shrugging your shoulders and saying you were just kidding instead of apologizing and moving on. You don't really seem to be poking fun at a system if you're actively speaking down to the young girl you offended and embracing gender stereotyping.
You might want to take a moment and think on the things you've said. Maybe you don't mean to be offensive, but you're coming off that way in everything you're saying, post and comments. Instead of continuing to make yourself look bad, consider apologizing or backing off.
Or think whatever you want. Glorious country, etc.
