I get your reasoning, but personally I never interpreted it as a transaction fee. It's more like a token of good will; I do something similar when I find friends in a bar, too.

The main gender problematic I see is:

If a woman approaches a man with a drink, society immediately labels both sides as bad.
In some cases she'd be better off approaching a bear, but she won't know it until it's too late.

In some cases she’d be better off approaching a bear, but she won’t know it until it’s too late.

Sometimes he'd be better off approaching a bear, too, and also won't know it until it's too late. This isn't a gender thing, this is just a "some people are shitty" thing.

amen. god forbid we acknowledge there are shitty people in the world, and their gender is irrelevant to their shittness.
