What about ‘gals’? While it’s technically just a form of “girls”, it’s used contextually similarly to “guys”.
Only when it’s used at all, which is far less often than ‘guys’. Yes, it’s true that it’s a distaff counterpart to ‘guys’, but so is ‘dolls’, and would you seriously propose unironic usage of ‘dolls’?
I suppose that is indeed a word that exists. Having grown up in the Northeastern U.S., it’s not really part of my active vocabulary.
