It happens at some point to all of us. Generally its a wanna-be guitar player. (least with me) Most people don't realize that being a good drummer is difficult and takes a lot of work.

It's never happened to me ...not once.
Do you think they made fun of you because you are a girl?

I've had the same thing from cocky guitar players too. Best thing to do is tell them the other muso jokes, for example :
What's black and blue and lies twitching in the gutter? The <insert instrument of your choice here> player who told too many drummer jokes.

Nice, I like it.
Never had much bother really. I've had friends asking me why I spend so much time practicing, some of them think I have no life to a certain extent but, these are the people that sit each and every night staring at the tv!!! I mean, how much of a waste of time is that?!! At least I'm doing something fun and creative, that's the way I see it, anyway.

One of the drummers that "subs" for me from time to time is a girl. She's pretty dang good too.
