This could have been the same comic but with a woman. It wouldn't change a thing, you're interpreting things into it yourself.
Did you look at the bonus panel?
If the genders were swapped it would have been a Boyfriend store, there's endless variations possible, next valentines I'll expect a Furry store.
Except it isn't. Because women buying men isn't an overused trope in all media (not to mention reality), while men buying women is. Because of misogyny.
You not wanting to hear this because it's easier for you to keep laughing at lazy sexist "humour" than it is to challenge your bias and make a miniscule effort to do better, doesn't change its validity.
