In general, I refer to people who are 20 years old as men/women. I figure at that point you're roughly a quarter of the way through your life if you have a life expectancy of 80 years old, you're an adult even if you don't really feel like it.

Maturity-wise it of course varies dramatically from person to person. Some people still seem as helpless as toddlers when they're in their 50s. And I have met teenagers who knew what they wanted to do with their lives, and went out and did exactly what they said they were going to do.

I think there is more baggage associated with "girl" vs "woman" because society tends to value women first and foremost based on how attractive they are, so sometimes women will want to cling to the youth associated with "girl" for as long as they can, vs feeling "old" if they refer to themselves as a woman. You're just almost never going to see a 25-year-old male human referred to as a boy, unless someone is deliberately trying to belittle themselves. But it's common to see 25-year-old female humans called girls, or calling themselves girls. Men don't have the same negative reaction from society as they get older, so it's not nearly as common for a 25-year-old male to call himself a boy.

And of course, complicating things, we have words like guy and dude for men, but not really an equivalent for women. I've seen guy used for infants all the way up to men who are maybe elderly. There's "chick" and "lady" but those aren't really used in the same way.

The interesting thing is both grown men and grown women DO call themselves boys/girls but only in the plural. Having a night out with the girls. Going drinking with the boys. We got this, girls!! Let's fucking go, boys!!

I also wonder, given the examples you cited, if that's when a group is doing something that feels, well, adolescent.

I've heard the latter two used in workplace contexts to celebrate successes and such, so I don't think that's necessarily the case
