No. In contemporary Western culture it's often assumed that men will take a logical approach, but it isn't always the right tool for the job. The need to "tone down the logic stuff" around people isn't a matter of men vs. women. Simply put, not everybody has the time or interest. People are individuals. We should first try to get a sense of whether it will be appreciated. The ability to reason well is an asset, but coming across as overly logical can backfire as can coming across as overly emotional. Strive to know the person you're talking with. Take a little time to get to know them better, pay attention to nonverbal cues, and adjust your delivery based on those things.

If there are logical reasons for small-talk and ice breakers this is a big one.

If what you're saying isn't something you think could be said in a conversation with a woman, then you probably shouldn't be saying it at all.
If you had read the OP you would have seen that this is already addressed:

And definitely not talking about morality. Our words should always be seasoned with grace and we should have wholesome talk exit our mouths. I'm meaning more the delivery. Should men adjust their delivery for women and vice versa?
