A potential employer used discrimination to taint an interview I was in. I did not get the job though I was qualified and experienced. What to do?

During an interview that took place a week ago today, I was interviewed by three women within an hour and half time frame. At one point during the interview with the first interviewer (Jenna) I was asked a specific question about why as a "male" I thought I would be better suited for the position and that their track record for great account management and "the empathy/patience that is needed is the reason we have only hired women for the position up and to this point." I answered by giving specific reasons I felt I dealt better with blue collar backgrounds(nature of the work in the trades) or with those in home building or development. After the interview, I wrote a thank you as I would with anyone I sat down with. I followed up via email on Wednesday and have yet to even be acknowledged. I am starting to believe I was interviewed only out of obligation. It is hard enough in NYC as the female to male ratio is in favor of women, but how would I compete or prepare for this?
