"if we're taking this verse literally, then it would seem that this argument only applies to boys though..."

You have to remember that it was written at a time when people were guided by common sense and there was no such thing as political correctness. "Men" was a generic term that referred collectively to men AND women, as in "members of the human race," as well as a gender specific term. But then, you probably knew that.
