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

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.
