“Then why are women always cold?”

Well if I go strictly by the example of my ex-wife, it’s because their hearts are made of ice.

(But I’m not bitter)🤨

Ignorant, educated beyond her ken, and unserious. She needs to be in the kitchen and told to keep her thoughts to herself, but what sane man would what her, good grief!

“”””Women produce less sweat and start sweating at a higher temperature, research – including this 2025 study – shows.

This impairs our ability to quickly shed excess heat and makes it harder to judge when our bodies are under burden, simply because we can’t see as much sweat on our skin or clothing.

The same research found that women also have a higher core body temperature and body fat percentage than men, which acts like an extra insulating layer.

Now combine this with the natural fluctuations of women’s hormones, which already put our brain’s temperature regulation systems “out of kilter”, according to Dr Arif.

Our levels of oestrogen and progesterone shift most substantially during the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, menopause, pregnancy and while breastfeeding – which can make you less able to regulate your temperature.
All of this is hard work for our cardiovascular systems, especially in hot weather.””””


Of course non of these apply when dealing with military service or hiring in Arizona construction crews.

Opposite experience for me. My ex-wife was always angrily fired up for no reason. Then while studying the Bible one day I realized why. LOL

The old Hebrew word for the worst version of Hell, Gehenna, in the Greek New Testament is Geena. That's my ex-wife's name! LOL No wonder in the KJV it's translated is hell fire. LOL

BBC is still pushing “climate change”?

Apparently they will never give up the long con—at least in my lifetime.

The BBC needs to stop using electricity in all of its facilities and its management and workers need to stop using electricity in their homes or apartments—to save the planet ya know....

So the moment a man declares he’s a woman he starts to suffer from the heat?

The key word is “experts”.

Substitute “insane escaped chimpanzees” for “experts” and the article reads a lot better.

Lol.
