Generally not, but guess it all depends on when/where used.

When someone gets offended by something so petty. I generally crank it up to offend them for real.

It doesn't offend me, but then I'm an Old and am harder to offend than the Snowflake Generation.

If she was in the kitchen cleaning or making a sandwich like she should’ve been, she wouldn’t have heard those mean words and got offended.

How could any man vote on whether they are offended by a term that is used to describe a girl?

Where and when I grew up it was not derogatory and was considered a respect for a girl who could hold her own in the woods and on the field.
