""Cougar" is like "cunt."
The offensiveness is not of the thing itself (in fact cougars are considered noble animals, just as cunts are a source of power and delight) but in the overwhelmingly derisive usage of the word.
Until women take control of the use and meaning of the word (see Eve Ensler) it remains derogative and offensive"
