What exactly needs "smoothing over" in a quote about the female body, using the proper female pronouns, regarding something only females are capable of: that is, childbearing and childbirth?
Perhaps instead of 95%+ of society being admonished into not offending anyone based on today's ever-changing what-can-we-think-of-to-correct-you-for next, the 5% should learn to be a little less sensitive. When we raise children that cry about everything, good parenting typically involves lovingly, but firmly, teaching the child to not be so sensitive. Imagine if the child instead "raised" the parents by conditioning them into catering to their every tantrum?
