なかなかマッチョ(男性的)なせりふです。「漢」の字は、
「熱血漢」「硬骨漢」のように、大人のおとこの意味で使わ
れ、ときに力強さを感じさせます。「痴漢」「酔漢」などもあ

児」「男声」「男優」などと使われますが、これらの場合は、
単に性別のおとこを示しています。

If you search our database for entries ending 
w 漢 then negative words certainly seem to 
dominate. The word that immediately comes to 
my mind is 痴漢 of course. The xref is weird 
though.
