I think there are certain times when the context is very clear and doesn't need to be mentioned. If a major female character (for example, the only female character in a film or a superheroine with her own series) dies mainly for emotional impact on a main male character, or if you have a couple of disposable hooker characters or sorority girls whose only purpose is to die sexily (not sure if this is fridging, but it's a related trope), that's a pretty textbook case of fridging i.e. a storyline where female characters are just disposable and/or eyecandy.

Or do you mean context as in, "this trope wouldn't be annoying / no one would complain about this if it weren't for the fact that it's gendered" similar to "damsel in distress" or "fanservice" tropes? I agree, sometimes analyses forget that and are like, "OMG, his mom died! Fridging! (Who cares if his dad also died)" or "I can't like this film because the female character had to be saved at some point." It's easy to get lost in the details and forget the bigger implication (there are few female characters, and they're all plot devices).
