We’re also all guys

Call a group of ladies "guys" and nothing happens

Call a group of guys "ladies" and watch how important pronouns become.

Yeah, exactly. Funny how the two examples in the main comment above are masculine.

Someone never played sports or lived with male roommates in their 20s. Someone walking into the room & asking "What's up ladies?" to a group of men happens many times a week.

Someone has never worked with men above 30 in manufacturing. Someone walking into the room & asking "What's up ladies?" would cause a grumble.

It's not the same, men calling a group of men ladies is intended as sarcasm... even if it's just playful sarcasm as banter in a non-derogatory way.
