After a moment's reflection, I suspect it's never appropriate to tell someone they're being oversensitive. If nothing else, it's enough to say you don't care and why without passing judgement on how they feel.
Last time that came up for me I can't say I was especially polite about it though. I was even less polite to the guy who tried to co-opt my impoliteness to back up his sexist BS.
