The women in my life prefer to be called women. Girls implies young, which is creepy for a man to say, to a lot of women. Ladies would have been much less creepy than girls, imho.
Disagree. “Girls” is used colloquially all the time, whereas (broadly speaking) “ladies” is a relatively more formal term which specifically refers to older women.
While I appreciate the thought you’ve put into this, I’ll share the scant details on what went through my head when creating this meme:
I opened up my meme app, clicked a template and this came up:
I then thought, “haha that’d be pretty funny if I changed it to something about kills in Helldivers.” Then I clicked backspace a few times, wrote a few words, and here we are.
I could’ve gone with “ladies” but that seemed a bit creepy. I suppose it’s gonna be sleazy no matter how it’s worded, due to the context.

I mean, I’m not sure what thought you think I put into it other than lived experience. I encourage you to ask the women in your life their opinions.
