Let these women spend a summer in Texas with no a/c, they would be singing a different tune.
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.
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.”
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.
***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.
Explains everything.
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.
In addition to the clothing issue, its just a fact that on average men have higher metabolisms than women, hence they get hot easier. It’s usually always cold at my office but I deal with it by always having a sweater (and sometimes a blanket) in my cubicle. It’s not the end of the world, folks.
I remember reading about an air-conditioned office full of women who complained the place was always too hot. The repairmen were constantly called in to check the equipment, which always was shown to be working properly.
When the next call came in, they sent a rookie repairman over as they were tired of this routine. After his visit the calls stopped coming in - the women said that whatever the kid did, he made the the place MUCH cooler.
Puzzled, the A/C guys asked the rookie what the problem was. He said that he couldn’t find any problem either and was afraid he’d be fired. In desperation he went out and got some thin paper streamers and attached them to the vents.
When the A/C kicked in, and the women saw the streamers fluttering so enticingly, they just KNEW the place was cooling off, proving once again that “perception is reality”.
You forgot about an important segment of the population that deeply appreciates air conditioning: menopausal women.
I can’t sleep unless it is cold. My poor husband goes to bed geared up for frost. It is so kind of him to put up with my need without complaint. He luvs me. : )
