"Something your dad / grandfather / uncle" can use is just as apt. The point isn't "durr hurr you need a Y chromosome to do turing complete mathematics" its "99.99% of the population can't program. Write a language they can use"
That would offend even more as it strongly implies that "mom could never program of course, but maybe we could build a language where dad could?" If we want to be all PC about it, we should use gender neutral terms; like "something your parent figure could write programs with."
