So.... your claim is that anyone discussing potentially unpleasant or offensive topics with a woman should take special care to be extra gentle in their delivery, include lots of sympathy and understanding, that sort of thing?
'Extra', of course, being in comparison to what they'd say when having a similar discussion with a man?
Gee, what happened to that whole equality thing?
This claim does not appear in the post you responded to. There is in fact no gendered language except with reference to a previously-established example (and a brief additional example in which the genders of the interlocutors are not stated).
