Dear female artisans

Dear female artisans, I'm enjoying summer break in a tiny town on the Swedish coast. Young people here are often parents and they all wear Crocs. They also use a lot of products in their dyed, bleached, tinted and blow dried hair.

There is a small gift shop where female artisans sell their creations. Here, you can also buy tea and chocolate.

Anders: How do you even get away with that?

Me: What?

Anders: You don't even react? Female artisans, chocolate and tea. Like it's some package deal. What is it with you women? This obsession with tea and chocolate. Is it genetic?

Me: I really don't know.

Anders: I'm looking for the equivalent. Male artisans. Beer, chips sold here.

I'm asking you, female artisans, will he find such a gift shop? And! Is it genetic?
