I think singular vs plural matters too. I would say “good night girls” to a couple of friends leaving, but not “good night girl” to one friend leaving.

If you say “boys and girls” that’s ok imo, but saying “men and girls” is probably condescending again

I agree with that amendment. It’s about context just as much as tone and intent.
