From a purely logical stand point: no. But we don’t treat gender logically, which was more my point. I wasn’t equating summer to anything, but illustrating that OP’s audience had only heard the opposite of what he said. The important/relevant bit was inferring something about the opposite of what was actually said, as OP’s audience appears to have done.

It’s super weird that it’s fine to jump to this conclusion, that someone intended the contra positive of what they said, if a statement is about or includes a group of people, but not any other time

People shouldn’t assume that you meant to imply the opposite of what you say. Unless you really emphasized “MEN” and made a knowing look at all the women around you or w/e. It’s like if you said “I like rain in the summer.” That statement doesn’t imply or insinuate that you don’t like rain at other times, or that you do like other weather at other times.

That said… the common bias that women are worse drivers than men is well known, so there is a case that you should have known better. You didn’t say anything offensive, and she’s projecting her own issues into what you said

Nobody can force you to go to college.
Even if they tried to enforce this agreement they’d have to prove they suffered some kind of damages. Contracts with a minor aren’t even legally binding, so if you’re not 18 yet there is no contract.
(I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice).

Look into emancipation. I don’t know anything about it beyond that it’s a thing. Maybe if your finances are separated from your parents you won’t need their info on the fafsa?

Best advice has already been given tho: talk to the financial aid office
