    Everybody my age and younger is a girl. My age and older is a woman. There’s a little blue around my age. I’m 36. My wife and I, and our husband and wife friend couples, I refer to us as guys and girls.

      first of all, friend groups are different. people call their friends “kids” too. that’s different from infantilizing strangers.

      second of all, yes, “guys” and “girls”. people don’t call adult strangers boys. yet they do that with women all the time.
