I don't think its too much to ask for everyone to be more conscious of how we talk publicly. You could spend an extra five minutes replacing that sexist joke with something else less likely to offend half the world's population.
The "It was meant to be a joke." line is weak sauce. Man up and admit that you were acting juvenile, and just apologize for your behavior. And try to do better next time.

What I find interesting and scary is that some people will put far, far more effort into defending their choice than it would take to change it to something less offensive (and dare I say it, funnier - most "jokes" that rely on sexism are old and tired)
