Feminist Says Air-Conditioning Is Sexist. Out Loud. On Live TV. In Front Of The Entire World.

Chicks on the Right ^ | 5/20/16

Oh good grief, not this again.

So, there’s this feminist who writes for the Telegraph in the UK and she was on one of their news shows talking about how air-conditioning is sexist. Somehow, she managed to say this with a straight face, which is a far cry from what I was doing as I watched this clown show –

So, the women in her office building are standing around resembling human popsicles and her best idea was to go on TV and complain about it? Like, you didn’t talk to whoever sets the thermostat in your building and ask them to adjust it? You just HAVE to make it a feminist issue?

Class, this is what we call a “First World Problem.”

Lemme point this out to this Radhika chick something that might have slipped her notice: Typically, men who work in office environments wear thicker and longer clothing than women do. Men in professional workplaces wear button-up shirts and long slacks, where women can wear short-sleeved blouses and skirts and possibly even sandals in the summertime. If a guy tried to wear shorts and a t-shirt to the office, he’d probably get in trouble with his supervisor. It isn’t sexism, it’s reality.

But, you know – anything that pits men and women against each other and lets you cry about being oppressed and triggered.

Speaking of – it’s Friday and I need this here again. It makes dealing with these whiny babies sooooo much easier –

In short, for all moaning and protest, these radicals are in charge and wield real power. They are not nuisance fringe. The world pushed around by their whims is not going to fare well, to say the least. This is what passes as “progress,” a path to enlightened world. I see it as accelerated decay, a kind of speeding up a march to death.

Up next...AC is racist because most of them are usually covered in white.

Many offices now have these new-fangled machines called “computers.” The temperature is kept on the cool side to serve the machines, and not the workers. I resent the implication that women are too stupid to put on a sweater.

” The women in the office would constantly jigger them around and it drove the building managers nuts, because he would then get calls all day from the rest off the floor.”

Spot On!

I ran a commercial building for several years. The thermostats did nothing if you adjusted then, they were really just sensors for the computer driven HVAC system that was controlled by the computer in my office.

I got many calls a day complaining about it being too hot AND too cold from the same floors. I could print out hourly zone temp readings for the entire building, and could instantly tell if there was a problem. All the temperature problems were sitting behind a desk.

[Bubba Gump Shrimp]

by the way, installing the ghost-thermostats seemed to solve his problem for the most part

the thermostats didn’t read temperature or give a temperature indication, they were the honeywell type that just said like “warmer or cooler” and you could adjust a dial.

he said if the women didn’t know what the actual temperature was, and if they felt they were doing something to control it, they were fine.

I have wondered how much of that is true, I mean the psychological part, and if it differs between the sexes and for what reasoning, or if the psychological part was on his end, where he felt they were pestering him less.

It was the only time we were asked to do that kind of job (we usually had HVAC guys do thermostats), so I wonder how frequent that request is.

Turning down the thermostat is a micro-aggression.

Sweaty, hairy, female armpits pushing out of sleeveless blouses up next!

[P.O.E.]

Now if she said air conditioning was caused by global warming, she might have a point. /s

[grania]

So women can't tolerate cooler temps like men?

It's so often true. Women often aren't comfortable in the chill of cold AC air.

[NorthstarMom]

Ha! So very true. I used to work in an office in which the majority of the employees were women in their fifties and they set the thermostat. I was in my twenties and kept a space heater under my desk-even in the summer just to thaw out my feet once in a while.

[Ditter]

Let these women spend a summer in Texas with no a/c, they would be singing a different tune.

[jsanders2001]

> So women can't tolerate cooler temps like men? Gee, so their IS a difference between men and women, whooda thunk it? And what about feminists with respiratory problems who need to be in an air conditioned environment? Are they sexist against themselves?

Wheel she hasn't met my wife. My wife has to have the AC on constantly as is the case with many other women in our church when men don't.

[Charles Martel]

I've noticed that women tend to be uncomfortable in a direct draft of cold air. Can't count how many times I've moved from one restaurant table to another. I've also been in the post-hurricane aftermath of coastal heat and no electricity. My solution of portable generator plus window A/C unit was treated as a gift from Heaven by the ladies.

There's a local company in Texas that has billboards which read (in huge print) "YOUR WIFE IS HOT!", with small print underneath that reads (better get the A/C fixed).

Many women like to show “skin” and wear clothing & accessories which accentuate those more ‘interesting’ areas of their anatomy.

Then they become irritated (supposedly) that men “stare at my (fill in the blanks) never look me in the eyes and view us as sex objects”.

As the article pointed out, “Typically, men who work in office environments wear thicker and longer clothing than women do. Men in professional workplaces wear button-up shirts and long slacks, where women can wear short-sleeved blouses and skirts and possibly even sandals in the summertime.”

[Lorianne]

Oh good grief.

Most of the women (and men) in offices go in are, let’s say, heavy. They don’t have a problem with the thermostat being set to Meat Locker. I’ve noticed that most of the people wearing sweaters and parkas indoors are quite a bit thinner. They simply do not have the insulation the others do.

Also older people seem are more sensitive to cold.

If I go into any store of office building in summer, even if it’s 100 degrees outside, I have to bring in a sweater and in some places a neck scarf as well. It’s ridiculous how cold they keep it ... but I never thought to complain about it being anti-woman.

Sheesh. I missed the boat again. So many opportunities to cry sexism that I’m missing.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***So women can’t tolerate cooler temps like men?***

Strange. I was always taught women could tolerate cold better because there was a THIN layer of fat under the skin that most men did not have.

[HotHunt]

In situations like this, I just consider the source of this cockamamie pronouncement.

Explains everything.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***“computers.” The temperature is kept on the cool side to serve the machines***

True. We soon learned to keep a jacket on hand in summer and a coat in winter.
When a power failure happened in summer, we brought in air fans to keep the employees cool while I&E worked on the electrical problem.

[Black Agnes]

She need to move to SoMiss or SoAl and eschew the a/c.

For just one month.

The month of August.

And she only gets one (1) box fan.

And Hollywood showers only. One (1) per day.

She will be making a little altar to Carrier within a week.
