Don't worry about it. I'm female and it didn't bother me. I'd've said something if it had. I'm not at all shy about expressing opinions, nor about not being "politically correct", nor about not trying to win a Miss Congeniality contest (as some here would prefer).
Just be yourself. So long as you avoid being deliberately rude and/or insulting you'll be fine. (Oh, and avoid discussing politics or real-world religion, as it tends to inflame those with tender sensibilities.)
