I think it's like 'guys' to refer to men? Instead of 'all the other men', you go 'all the other guys'. So for women, instead of 'all the other women' it's 'all the other ladies'. The other option is 'girls', which is slightly infantilising?

I feel weird because apparently a lot of people dislike "girls" but I've never had a problem with it? I always just saw it as being the feminine version of "guys." I'm not really a big fan of "women" because it just sounds old to me, like you're talking about older women or something. "Men" sounds old to me too, now that I think about it, because I'm so used to hearing "guys" instead.

I guess I don't really see why "girls" is supposed to be infantilizing or whatever while "guys" isn't.

See, that's funny, because to me, "girls" was always the feminine equivalent of "boys", not of "guys". I don't know. That's why I see it as a little infantilizing (I should say that I'm a guy and when people say "boys" as a collective noun I do find it a little annoying. That's pretty much why I don't really use "girls" a lot)
