Yes, tone matters, regardless of your gender. A prerequisite for a mature adult conversation is for you to quit being hostile to me from the get-go.

Am I saying something controversial or micro-aggressive here? So be it.

Then, this is a confrontational tone too.

I have the distinct impression that what they want is for discussions to become personal. Don't let them get to you.
