Office air conditioning is too cold, women think, and science says they're right

To all the women bundled in sweaters and blankets in your office air conditioning even though it's 100 degrees outside: A recent study says that it's not all in your head. It really IS cold.

As many women bundle up against the arctic air conditioning, their male counterparts one cubicle over have no idea what all the fuss is about. It turns out that science says the office A/C may be biased toward temperatures that more comfortable for men — thanks to a formula from more than 50 years ago.

"Arctic" global cooling sexism ping. What about transgender people? No word yet on how this affects different races.

Geee...I don’t give a shi’te.....

If the SJWs force me to adjust setpoints up, I will save a ton of money on electricity.

Fight The Power, Baby!

I hate the heat, put on something!

[chrisser]

It might have something to do with office attire.

Year round, most men are in at least long pants and a shirt. Some offices that shirt is long sleeved with a tie, and potentially a suit.

While women are in strappy shoes, short skirts and thin blouses for the summer.

Not saying I want to see women with more clothes on in the summertime, but when one wears less clothes, one should expect to be colder than mail counterparts that are more heavily clothed.

I think we need a Beer Summit but room temperature beer nothing too cold.

[Reno89519]

I agree, most places too cold.

[Dr. Sivana]

Any perceived difference is due to social conditioning. We just must adapt by being gender fluid.

[null and void]

What about transgender people?

I heard one say it was freezing her bulls off!

Anyone who’s married knows that until menopause comes along for the wife the battle line runs through the household thermostat.

[Raycpa]

This problem calls for more laws and a federal department to protect our rights to a temperate office climate control.

[Adder]

So we fix it by being biased against men?

Skru dat.

We have a separate office with women and they do keep it warmer...so warm I half expect them to be sunning themelves on the walls like lizards...complete with steam and jungle sounds.

And don’t get me started on the ones in menopause...they set the t-stat on “meat”.

About 50% of the people think it’s too cold.
About 50% of the people think it’s OK.

And the 50% who think it’s too cold are right, because Men are always wrong.

No, thanks to the ability of men to feel warm. There are typically more men than women in an office space, and it's far easier for women to bundle up if they're too cold than it is for a man to strip down if it's too warm.

First the nonsense about men leaving the toilet seat up after liberals insist on unisex bathrooms, then childish complaints about men spreading their legs too widely when seated, now this - feminism consists almost entirely of women trying to annoy and irritate men in the most childish ways possible.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

It’s not the heat it’s the humidity. Drier air feels colder. Thus, when women complain that they are “freezing” when the thermostat says 70 degrees, they need to get a humidifier for their personal space or put on a sweater.

[Freee-dame]

Air conditioning a building to 70 degrees is very expensive. Is this really the temperature in government offices?

[I want the USA back]

“women think”
SOME women or ALL women? Explain which one, or the statement is invalid.

Something to think about. A man who cuts his dick off and calls himself a woman - does he feel cold in the office and put on a sweater?

Maybe there was something to Hillary’s Mao pantsuits...except in her case I’d wager the frigidity radiated from within.

[moovova]

Obviously, sexist men are in charge of the A/C. That’s why many of them spend so much time on the freezer aisle at the grocery store.
