'hey men! what'cha doing' doesn't sound natural, either. In fact, I
would say that the use of 'boys' or 'guys' is much more common than
the original note would indicate. I would also say that certain uses
of 'girl' are indeed insulting and to be avoided. The distinction
is really in the mind of the speaker.
