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.

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.

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 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.

Disagree. "Girls" is used colloquially all the time, whereas (broadly speaking) "ladies" is a relatively more formal term which specifically refers to older women.
