I guarantee the office dress code allows her to wear sleeves, but probably does not allow men to not wear them.

If it's too cold you can always add layers, however if it's too hot, then there is only so much clothing you can take off, if you're allowed to take any off at all. Save those cutsie sun dresses for picnics at the beach, you're at work to be productive.

This is such a rich vein of jokes, I love this adult toddler.

Ahh, so air conditioning in offices only is sexist? Now now, let us not pull our punches with such modesty. Your observation was sheer genius: Surely air conditioning in shopping malls and airports and the comfort of your own home is sexist as well? No need to scale-back your sweeping brilliant sociological commentary, is there?

It took me a while to realize that this might have had something to do with clothing.

Knowing a lot of male custruction laborers, industrial mechanics, handymen, and landscapers who are out sweating their butts off while their office counterparts are almost always exclusively female constantly complaining about the climate control, too hot or too cold, I originally thought this could have been this woman recognizing she has a clear beneficial arrangement in comparison.

Edit: changed 'privilege' to a word that doesn't trigger bots. :P

“In fact, the indoor climate standards created by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) did take women into account, Bjarne Olesen, one of the engineers who worked on the recommendations, told Wired. Metabolic rates vary more between individuals than between sexes, he said.”

Wonder when they’re going to retract the article

NotADoctorFremulon · 2018-09-01T04:22:41+00:00

This is HILARIOUS!!!! She writes " brand new scientific research that shows most AC units are designed for a man's body temperature - not a woman's." Did somebody not tell her you can adjust the temp?

Also... do these middle-class feminists clutching at their pearl necklaces not understand that there are women in sweat shop... so called because they are SO hot and there is NO air conditioning?

My female co-workers complain about it being too hot and ask for fans at their desks. This has to be a troll.

They hyperbole: "women are frozen stiff". No. They quantifiably are not. Otherwise they would be dead. AC in the summer time doesn't kill people: it saves peoples lives!

"I'm freezing! Oh, and here is a photo of me wearing sandles and no socks to work."

At the end of the day, even if this is a legit issue, what is their solution? "Sure... we can just dress warmer; problem solved. But we'd rather our male co-workers sweat more, that way we can write an article next month about how men sweat too much at work and they BO is oppressive." Then when guy start wearing cologne, they can write another article about how oppressive that it.

Wear some damn socks.

SCROTAL-SACK · 2018-09-01T06:59:03+00:00

In the original video she actually said it wasn't fair because she couldn't wear her summer frocks.. Men have a very strict dress code of suits, up to maximum flexibility of wearing "business-casual", which is tucked in business shirt, business trousers, and business shoes. It's awful in the summer especially when these idiots turn the AC down. Like I've been at my desk at rest.. sweating.

Her complaining about not being able to wear her summer frocks around the office because she gets a bit chilly shows the utter entitlement and lack of care for anyone other than herself.

tmacaroni09 · 2018-09-01T00:07:05+00:00

You guys know she's right, right? The air conditioning it's horribly sexist, even raped a few female workers 😤😤😤

tenchineuro · 2018-08-31T21:58:56+00:00

I say it's too warm in here, turn the thermostat down a bit.

BellaLiberty · 2018-09-01T00:29:39+00:00

What the everlovingfuck! When they turn 45 or so it's a different story, amirite?

dookandralley · 2018-08-31T23:27:32+00:00

No one nose her struggle!

Philip8000 · 2018-09-01T03:14:36+00:00

Well, if she doesn't like it, she could always do my job, where you can be working outside all day when its 105-110 degrees.

johndeer89 · 2018-09-01T04:37:56+00:00

Oh ya? Well your microwave is homophobic!!

Akesgeroth · 2018-09-01T09:37:40+00:00

This coming from people who think privilege is based on race and gender. I would say the peak of privilege is complaining about having to not show up to your cushy office job in a tubetop because you work in an air conditioned environment.

Ansodyte · 2018-09-01T03:41:33+00:00

Why would people think air condition is sexist? That is just weird.

Tarchak · 2018-09-01T10:09:12+00:00

Feminist logic in western countries: Women rights in the middle east OR the awful sexism promoted by AC systems in offices. The choice is obvious, we need to fight the AC! I'm sorry but this is soooo retarded i thought it was a meme

2018-09-01T12:09:34+00:00

I sometimes wonder when And what the breaking will be. When finally someone or a group of someone's finally just snaps.

This is so fucking stupid.How and why does anyone give any creedence to this ridiculous horse shit? And these fucking women are making their living making this drivel up. If this behavior doesn't unchecked, mgtow will start being practiced in the public sphere as well.

Other words "I want to barely wear any clothing and still be warm, I don't care if others whom have to wear layers of clothing are uncomfortable and sweating"

Frontfart · 2018-09-01T13:43:08+00:00

Wear more fucking clothes you idiot.

Lethn · 2018-09-01T14:06:16+00:00

Please don't tell me this is still a thing.

jeff_the_nurse · 2018-09-01T15:23:50+00:00

So then heat is sexist to men, right?

Rethgil · 2018-09-01T23:16:03+00:00

I know its not the issue here but I nearly threw up on her picture when I saw her ugly smug face. Sorry. Felt I had to 'share' that.

DoctorKnockboots · 2018-09-02T02:46:16+00:00

Calling all men: We have a lady in distress here.

What I propose, in solidarity, is that we band together secretly (silently) to keep her comfortable in spite of the patriarchy's use of shelter and so called "air conditioning" as a tool of oppression.

I would like to christen our support of and involvement in her struggle against bad men and their outright blatant abuse of the Joule-Thomson effect as: the "Silent Butt Violent" movement.

We shall work tirelessly to warm her, using only legume-based bioecologically conscious locally-produced off-gassing, the more local the better.

JackFisherBooks · 2018-09-02T03:23:39+00:00

This totally sounds like something the Onion would write. The fact that they didn't gives me a strong appreciation for anyone writing for the Onion these days. When THIS is what actually happens in the real world, why even bother making up any absurdities?

Cristi_Tanase · 2018-09-02T18:28:33+00:00

that face... that face is the definition of on line sexual assault!

BlackBoxInquiry · 2018-09-01T10:17:23+00:00

Then let’s have dedicated rooms with absolutely no fucking AC for the dimwits like the trash in the picture.

Sit their asses in there for a year, bet you after that they’ll grab a sweater, sweatshirt or a light jacket like everyone else who can think critically and “brave” the AC.

What a useless asshole.
