The advice doesn't matter . Anything can be labelled as "sexist" nowadays, and you can find yourself on the "cancelled" end just by interacting with the wrong type of person. Case in point, the very story we're discussing - raising the pitch at the end of a statement. There's nothing sexist about giving advice to correct that, because men do it too. However, the wrong type of person will project their sexist views onto the situation by claiming that it's something only women do. With enough pushing-the-right-buttons from that person (these types do seem to be relentless), you are now branded a sexist and cancelled. The patients are truly running the asylum these days.

I think you need better examples, because my first association with this one is how her behavior is evidently not authentic. We were already at risk of unreasonable people making our lives difficult anyway, so your broad claim about 'these types' feels more like shadow boxing (without broader context punctuated with specific examples).
