If speaking to the group again doesn't help, maybe some one-on-one conversations would be more effective? You could try to become friendly with a few of these women outside of the group. (Any of them live near you and could go to lunch with you in the same dining hall? Any taking one of your classes?) Bring up whatever the group has been doing recently and then find a way to segue into your concerns. Reiterate that you're culture (like all cultures) isn't without gender issues, but you feel frustrated when people make assumptions about it. Treat the woman you're talking to like an ally and not someone who needs to be told how to think (even if that's not how you really feel). Give her a chance to ask questions and bring up any concerns.

If all goes well, you might get her to understand your POV, and she will carry her new-found understanding to other women in the group.
