You know it would cost a lot less to buy a fucking sweater.

So... the plan is to make men uncomfortable (and it's not like they can run an office AC), so that women can be comfortable (even though they CAN run an office space heater).

Yeah... this makes sense.

Of course someone in fucking Canada is trying to turn this into a genuine political issue. Someone needs to make a hashtag FirstWorldProblems.

its harder to adjust from being too cold than being too hot

On what planet? This hasn't been true since we started wearing clothing.

BDMR_lurker · 2016-08-31T14:01:36+00:00

The bloke on the right looks alright, doesn't he?

Because that surely means the end of suit & tie for men, obviously. /sadly /s

Post menopausal women and their hot flashes want the air colder than any one

if most indoor office environments follow a temperature model that is based on the physiology of a 40-year-old, 154-pound man, then why is the problem only with AC in the summer and not also with heating in the winter?

Demonspawn · 2016-08-31T16:13:45+00:00

The office should prefer a little to cool over a little to warm.

It's a lot more socially acceptable to put on more clothes than it is to be naked in the office.

It kind of odd. Its like feminism mixed with the old school way of thinking that men are supposed to make sacrifices for women.

[...]it's harder to adjust to being too cold as opposed to being too hot.

As a man that's been miserable all summer, fuck you. After a fan as loud as a jet engine blasting me in the face, the only other thing I can do to adjust being too hot will get me a meeting with HR about "workplace dress code."

PotatoDonki · 2016-08-31T21:41:40+00:00

What trivial fucking problems women have.

OTTMGTOW · 2016-08-31T18:15:09+00:00

Hmm.... Could it be that we want it colder since we basically have to be covered from the neck down in noisy office environments?

AIR-CONDITIONING IS SEXIST BRAH

Dabookittty · 2016-08-31T22:52:33+00:00

Air conditioning is a medical necessity.

I have MS, and am heat sensitive. . Getting to warm and my brain and body no longer like to work.

My manager(female) after some coworkers(All female) said it was to cold in the office a few summers ago went out and bought everyone company zip up sweaters with our logo. Basically told everyone if they were cold to put on the sweater.

I think this ad agency saw that other ad agency giving all their female members of staff a raise and have come up with this to generate publicity.

2016-08-31T21:22:58+00:00

do it. All the 50+ women will fucking riot.

feedmecarrots · 2016-09-01T01:33:48+00:00

I don't think that is is an accident that it is happening in Toronto. Curious that they don't complain about winter. Could it be that women dress differently then?

Yongkidd · 2016-09-01T18:13:14+00:00

Is this new? I remember this from last summer. There's an interview if you google air conditioning is sexist. Anyway, I wonder if maybe the dress code has anything to do with it. When I look at business wear for men, it's typically a three piece suit with a tie. In my opinion, it's not very comfortable and can be stifling to wear during the warmer season. Women on the other hand have quite a bit of selection to choose from. Sleeve or no sleeve, skirt or dress, sandals or pumps, etc. Like some of y'all have stated, easier to add layers than take it off. Also, isn't it cost ineffective to constantly change temperature in a building? I thought I read something about it but can't remember if it was true. Anybody able to provide support on this?

Regardless, unless dress codes become relaxed for men, I don't see any reason to raise the thermostat. Nobody wants to smell crotch in a close space.
