No Sex in the Champagne Room

Chris Rock and Margaret Cho are veryyyy different comedians in my opinion. Rock tends to be very overt in the way he addresses most of his issues, he establishes his view and doesn't quit you're numb from laughter. He throws it right in your face too, it's a very unforgiving style of comedy. Cho tended to spend a lot of the show making fun of herself and her family, a very introverted sort of humor, poking fun at herself and the misconceptions of herself. This style of humor is generally less offensive because it doesn't attack like some of Rock's humor does. I don't really think her sex has much to do with it, as I've seen women comedians that are MUCH more offensive than Chris Rock (Lisa Lampanelli to name one).
