"Girls" is almost the equivalent to "Guys". I call women 25 and below girls. After that, they're women.

Guys are just guys regardless of age unless they're a minor. If it's a mixed group of men and women over 18, "hey guys" is appropriate.

I see women of all ages often refer to themselves as girls, so that's why I don't have a problem with calling adults girls, to an extent.

This

Women themselves call it "girl's night" or "hanging with my girls"

So it's the appropriate term when casually referring to groups of women.

"Guy" is a great term for males that bridges the gap between "boy" and "man." The lack of a real female equivalent Is a shame. I like "gal" and use it sometimes but it doesn't seem like it will ever catch on.

If it's between girl and woman, I go by whether it feels weirder to me to say boy or man for males of the same age. If they're in high school, college undergrad, etc. I say girl. If they're grad students or working I say woman.

I will address a group of women as "you guys". It is gender-neutral in my dialect of English (Metropolitan NY / coastal elite). My wife went to a women's college, so I have definitely been trained out of accidentally calling grown women, "girls", to the point that it now grates on me.

depends on the context. if age doesn't matter, then yes. if age matters, then women. i wouldn't ever really say ladies unless it's supposed to be comical, or some kind of advertisement or marketing thing.

Not really, unless it's facetious.

Like I don't use "boys" seriously either because I don't particularly like being called boy.

Alright boys! Time to fuck today up!

I think when you use them as a plural it makes it better

you're saying defaulting to male pronouns, even when women are present, isn't supporting the patriarchy...?

Its more that its an old term and out of fashion rather than not catching on.

Its the word grandpa uses to say why grandma isnt there, gals night out! rather than face the fact a pit bull killed her.
