Boys is used for adult men in like extremely familiar and casual contexts, like "Saturday is for The Boys" kind of stuff. There's definitely men who use "girl" in a more insulting context but like it's the intent that makes it bad not the word, I feel Lol. Anyway thank you for the pointless rant I enjoyed it

Yeah, if someone tells a group of men like, "well, boys, what are we doing tonight" it feels weird unless the one saying it is very close with the group. And for myself I feel way too uncomfortable to call a group of women "girls" it just feels so weird and wrong to me.
