Scout's a tomboy and by calling her a girl Jem was basically saying she was a sissy.
~It was an insult because Scout grew up with only Jem and Atticus so she always wanted to be "one of the guys." By calling her a girl he pretty much was calling her a sissy. He thought a girl was a "sissy." But everyone knows not all girls are "sissy"s.

Jem accused Scout of being a girl because he believed that girls were weak and not as tough as boys. This was seen as an insult to Scout because it implied that she wasn't capable of keeping up with him and his adventures. Jem's perception of girls being fragile and unable to handle challenges was influenced by societal gender norms and stereotypes.
