That's not a fandom thing, that's a broader cultural thing. And I think the reason behind is because it's a word that you can use for women as a group that sounds classy while at the same time not being overly serious - it's not formal but it still carries an image of fashion and style and that sort of thing. I mean, you know, a retro cocktails kind of image, if you know what I mean.

I hate hate hate the term ladies used unironically, especially coming from men, it's widely used as a douchebag detector. OP, assuming you're a dude, just don't.

Talking about "ALL THE LADIES" and "STRONG LADIES" and whatnot is a fandom thing. The word in real life, I find, is most frequently used to refer to "the ladies", as in "impressing the ladies" or whatever, which I'm hoping most people don't unironically say. In fandom it's often way more awkward than just saying "women" would be and it mystifies me.

ALL THE LADIES IN THE WORLD

I prefer being casually addressed as a "lady" than as a "woman". I guess in the end it's that "woman" sounds drier. But I'll use both "ladies" and "women" in posts and neither sounds wrong to me that way.

I work customer service, and I look much younger than my age. Parents instructing their children to 'Say thank-you to the lady' as opposed to 'the girl' makes my day.
