Assuming: females are milder than males as they are more emotionally inclined. It reads like E(xpress) U(yourself) Phemism(like feminism).

you+feminisn(sounds like) girls try to avoid certain words and circumlocate... so if u practise euphemism, you act like a female

eu- <> dys- (good) <> (bad) -phemi ~ phone ~ sound => euphemism ~ make good speech instead of bad one

eu ‘well’ + phēmē ‘speaking.’
