Feminist writers across the Internet have unearthed the latest conspiracy against women: office air conditioning.
The Washington Post published an “investigation” of the “sexism” of air conditioning. The author, Petula Dvorak, spoke to an array of women who felt as if their offices were too cold; meanwhile, the men did not feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, Dvorak concluded, “That’s right, my friends. Air conditioning is another big, sexist plot.” …

First, women do not understand thermostats.
Second, you’ll never get two women to agree on the temp. If one is young and thin and the other has a couple of extra pounds and is going through menopause, that’s a 25 degree swing in preference.
Third, this problem exists because there are women in the workplace.
Flame away. There are 8 fantastic women in my house, so I can take it.
“a pointed joke”...
ZING!
Sounded like you are describing your household, not in an office. But you weren’t being called ‘sexist’.
[However, the same arguments are also true for work environment, too.]
Obviously, they are not in menopause.
Older women should speak up about how wonderful AC is!
I’m just guessing here, but I assume her office is not in Miami, Atlanta, Houston or Phoenix.
Maybe we should petition that she be transferred to one of these “Sexist Cities” to prove her assumptions.
Oh, wait, being a Liberal means never having to say you’re wrong (or stupid)
She needs to move to the South. Right now it is 84 degrees but feels like 96.
High today here will be 95 degrees but feel like 106.
Humidity is a killer.
And to think, how did we survive those years here before we got AC?
My ex used to say that I liked it so warm because it reminded me of hell, which was where I had come from...
There wasn’t any global warming. Duh!
In all fairness, I think most people do not understand thermostats, i.e. different expansion and contraction of different laminated metals, so your statement is correct.
Put on some clothes.
Feminists and other liberals should belong to one organization: G.R.I.P.E.(Goofs Riled Incessantly at Practically Everything) They’re never satisfied.
Most likely the “patriarchs” alluded to here are wearing heavy business attire and need the AC.
She should stay home, and bake brownies for the cause. :)
I suppose it makes sense that feminists with room-temperature IQs would dislike a/c!!!
Simple—Put the complainers in an outside pavilion. As a bonus, let them smoke out there.
Here in Florida during July and August, they’d last about 15 minutes.
Okay you hag. We’re turning it off. And the heat. Deal with it now.
Yeah, as we age it gets turned around. Can you say "Hot Flash"
Is it getting nipply in here, or is it just me?
Those women must be either much younger, or much, much OLDER than 50.
‘Cuz to us gals around 50, A/C is a GIFT FROM GOD!
If you have to ask why, you wouldn’t understand. LOLOLOLOL!
