As a fan of the more mature lady, long before they became known as MILFS: I can see how some might be offended, although personally If the tables were turned: I would take it as a compliment!
I would say that us blokes are discriminated against: MILF doesn't have a male equivalent. Surely there should be FILFs (or DILFS) too? Or are we just dirty old men...?
By pure coincidence I started writing a MILF story (in fact most of my stories concern Milfs because I like to write about people of my age). The story was inspired by a chat with a fellow Lush member on the subject of FFM: it was only afterwards I remembered an episode in my life (long before I became a father) which was not only FFM but MILF too. Now I just need to get writing again...
MILF or Cougar. Call 'em what you want but don't eliminate them!
Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.
Personally I find them as useless as homophobe and racist. Everyone has to have a "title", "name", or "term" now days and most of the time it simply does not accurately reflect those called it, or those claiming the titles.
MILF for instance has grown to cover any female that is a "mother", when in fact that was not what it was meant to be used for at all. It was actually meant to be used for mothers of our friends, IE teenagers' parents, or even young adults' parents. It was NOT meant to cover some 17-15 year old female who had a kid. But they sure are using the term a lot now days.
Cougar... I find the term laughable at best, but in some cases pretty sad for the women who fit that description. But I find it equally sad for males as well. I have no age differences, but I tend to believe that they should be within a reasonable range. And I don't need to get into that here since there have been a couple great threads covering that already (and my response is in one of them).
I tend to dislike labels all together. Just BE.
Let's just do away with all adjectives, adverbs, nouns, titles and names. Tis better to guess and practice mind-reading...about everything in our lives.

I think this comes down to opinion.

It's funny that these 2 terms were partly grasped hold of because they were more politically correct terms and sounded better than some of the first words used for women going after younger men.
As already pointed out for men going after younger women they are still called perverts or just plain dirty old men.
I have no problem with either of the terms. They definitely sound better than many of the alternatives out there.
I tried to come up with alternatives for the male-equivalent for 'cougar' (that I've heard/seen) but all I could come up with was cradle-robber, dirty old man, , child molester, pervert, sicko, daddy, etc...you get the idea.
To be honest, I think the guys get the short end of the stick in regards to liking younger women (and the names they're called for it). "Cougars", at least, are generally considered to be older, sexy women with a bit of a wild side (at least that's the impression I always got, though correct me if I'm wrong). Guys are just considered perverts. :/ Or "Daddy", which is kind of weird. If I were an older woman I'd be grossed out a younger guy/girl I was interested in tried to call me "Mommy", so I wonder how men who don't have that particular kink must feel about it.
I'm just a perverted dirty old man (but quite hygienic) and hate all acronyms. OK?
The point about the cougar is not really the age gap, it is agency.
Traditionally the man hunts the woman. A Cougar is not merely an older woman, she is an older woman on the prowl with the objective of seducing young men.
A Cougar is quite definitely not a slut. A slut is easy, a Cougar picks her prey, stalks and devours him.
A Cougar is not a MILF either. A MILF is a woman with children that the boy seeks out and seduces.
I'm sure it is probably just a personal thing with me, but I never have limited MILF or DILF to just an older person with children.
I think of it as any older man or woman that I would literally love to fuck or that I at least find sexually attractive. Some of them are parents and some are not.
I have definitely never thought of the term to include anyone my age or younger that just happens to be a parent. If they fall in that category and I find them sexually attractive -- then they are just someone I would like to fuck -- so I guess a SILF. LOL
I'm fine with the terms, the other day at Target, I was shopping with my two little girls and I overheard a guy of about 25 or so say "total milf" under his breath to his buddy as I walked by. Made my day, I can tell you!

MILF...really a mom you would like to fuck, dear lord that is just bad.
Cougar....A tad different, but still ewww.
---so a cougar stalks it's prey and picks it out, then why when I flirt I get called a cougar
Seriously can you think of something more tasteful to call us.
I hate those terms as much at being called Woman.....I would so rather be called a whore, a slut, hell slave is better and i did like that one too and I am submissive (but that is a whole different topic)
I don't know, words mean things, I mean when someones says one of those terms you get and idea what they mean. It's not an insult or demeaning, just a description.
Only if you fling me softly and into a pool of gummy bears.
Hmm - MILF is juvenile, so I've never read the stories and odds are - since I've considered motherhood to be the anti to my sex life - I never will read them even if it changed. It makes me think of that idiot in the movie, and that is not appealing at all. No matter how many years have gone by - I always remember that one scene. Immediately in my mind, the guy who uses that term is demoted to that idiot's level of drooling stupidity.
I favor older men . . . The category that leaves me: mature . . . which is what I like anyway. It's not juvenile, and thus the stories in it are not a put off at all.
MILF and Cougar.... I thought it was done until I heard a comic the other day saying (In reference to Kate Middleton) Finally! A QILF (Queen....)
I happen to like both and use both.
Look the only reason we label anything is so that we all know that we are talking about the same thing.
Example, IF you were taught that that the color blue is actually known to the rest of the world as green, that creates problems
Ok rather like it when some sexy guy/girl refers to me as a MILF. There's nothing wrong with that.
