And women tend to dictate what the household eats.

So?

Whoever pays gets to set the thermostat

How many of these women pay for the mortgage and utilities in the house?

I think there's a very real gender difference where men are forced to stress about money, often because they are paying for things that their wife / girlfriend wants.

Small rant:

I like to keep the house cooler in the evening because I like it to be cooler when I go to bed.

But I've been with women who insist on heating up the house and then switching back over to AC to cool it back down when we go to bed.

It's like they don't care about how much it costs, they just want to be comfortable, and expect to be able to offload the burdens associated with keeping them comfortable onto another person. I guarantee if they were responsible for paying all the bills they might approach things differently and grab a blanket or wear a sweater instead.

"Because the study only had one person from a household describe their experiences, “it is possible that there are gender differences in how a conversation is perceived and/or reported (e.g., if women are more bothered by a disagreement, they might be more likely to report it, and/or report it as a conflict vs. a compromise).” It also points out “due to the open-ended nature of diary responses” the researchers don’t actually know if subjects were telling the truth. “We were unable to determine the direction of thermostat adjustments,” reads the paper. The timing of the logs may have influenced results. The study occurred in autumn when temperatures drop."

sooooooooooooooo it is hogwash
