It's posed as an additional, final restriction on what is appropriate to say, it's not posed as permission for more speech. Example: "you look very nice today." If you wouldn't say to man, she's saying filter that out (I'm focusing on her last line: "before you say...")

Yes, it just doesn't work because almost zero men would have a problem with that whilst some women would. Also, fails to factor in sexuality. Sometimes compliments are given to see if flirting would be welcomed & then the sex you'd say this to will be the one you're attracted to

Yes, she seems to be saying don't do anything flirtatious. I'm not claiming that's good advice, just noting that that advice is the opposite of what many seem to be interpreting her advice as: talk to women just as you would men.

It requires an assumption that men are less personal, more respectful and less likely to invite men out than women. That assumption is simply wrong tho the latter, if meant romantically, will only apply to gay men, obviously.
