None of this is gender-specific at all. Pointless linkbait.

  I think a few could very definitely be said in a sexist way, more information on the context needed though. The one I found most interesting was the one about non-profits and charities. I don't consider women to be more likely to start these sorts of companies (I don't know the numbers though), but I can sort of see where that might come from, and I can totally see how that could be insulting to a female founder.

    The problem is these patriarchal cis-scum aren't actually making shit up to trigger her. The federal government gives contract preference to women-owned businesses, and there are incredibly valuable grants available to encourage des entrepeneuses. Instead of just wigging out in markdown, she might have considered asking them what the hell they were talking about; it could have helped her business. Life is easier in general when you assume conversations are being held in good faith. Speaking of good faith conversation, your traffic numbers are not a business secret, and your conversation partner does not actually give a shit. This is just the modern version of "so how are sales these days?"
