Is it better to be a big boy or a little man?

I like little man. I hate little lady. Little man just sounds like he's growing into being a man, but little lady sounds like she's being forced into a female stereotype of a lady. The opposite of little man would be little women.

I think it is cute.

I like it way better than calling every boy "Bud."

It's innocuous. I'd wonder more about why it bothers you so much rather than why it's a popular phrase.
