Calm down is perfectly fine. People do overreact and its fair and also proper to call that bad behavior out.

I'd be willing to bet that there has never been an instance of someone saying "You need to calm down" and the subject of that admonition saying "Gosh, you're right" and instantly reaching a serene state. And quite often the one saying "you need to calm down" is the one responsible for the conflict in the first place, and now doesn't want to take responsibility for the consequences.

There are plenty of people that are told to calm down because they need to calm down. Women in particular. They run on feelz and drama. When stuff doesn’t go their way they lose their grip. And feel totally justified to do so.
