When it comes to exploration and space travel, do terms like "unmanned" bother women?

For example: "Missions to the moon were mostly manned, while the missions to Mars remain unmanned".

Do people find these terms sexist?
 
no it means hands on and hands off, i.e direct human involvement or no direct human involvement.
