Weird toxic culture that genders hot beverages.
The Victorian UK used to gender coffee houses for men and tea houses for women but that was just the businesses themselves, they were expected to drink whatever was served at private events and drank what they wanted at home.
I suspect this plot is a misunderstanding of that.
Coffee houses were places men would talk about politics and “manly” topics, which is why they didn’t let women in, who were considered uneducated and too easily shocked.
Tea houses were anti-bars where women would gather to study and fight against their own political misfortune – like trying to get to vote and trying to limit the sales of alcohol, which was largely blamed for crime at the time when the real issue was extreme poverty.
Like, so what
it cannot be that deep tho
