I wouldn`t say it`s necessarily *wrong* - as that is common.

But that isn`t what you were asking. You were asking if the term is found offensive. It isn`t.

Asking whether there is a lot of discrimination in women`s employment is opening a completely different can of worms - which has been talked about before on here.
I fall in the camp of believing that most of the women who *plan* to leave their jobs when they get married or have children prefer those positions - as in the 10 years of being in Japan I have only seen one exception to that... Out of god only knows how many that followed the pattern.
It`s not a question of whether women are being promoted or have equal standing, blah blah blah. It`s a question of whether the majority wants it. I have found most of them don`t. They`re perfectly content to have a boring low-responsibility position to make money to spend having fun (as with responsibility they couldn`t take days off to go vacationing.) or to save up for marriage. The freedom to quit whenever is pretty important.

Either way, the term itself is not found offensive.
