It is NOT intended to be offensive, obnoxious, condescending, or sexist ... though, I must admit, I have yet to use it to an adult male, apart from my own two grown up sons and one of their friends who I've unofficially 'adopted' ... but that's a limitation imposed on you by the 'natural' resolution's capability of the monitor itself.
