Attack of the Patriarchy -- Air Conditioning, Sexist Plot

Post by Forty Two » Mon Jul 27, 2015 12:38 pm

http://jezebel.com/is-office-air-condit ... 1719883384 and http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens ... story.html

Okay, now..... we may well be reaching the bottom of the barrel for problems. To use another cliche', could this be a sign of a light at the end of the tunnel, that there is little left for feminists to complain about?

Air conditioning. Your boss wants you cold and shivering.

And, women are being denied the right to have the temperature adjusted to suit their sun dresses, backless/sleeveless outfits, and shoes that are really letter straps delicately attached to a three inch spike underneath.

I like the idea that this is somehow men's fault -- men! They refuse to dress for the season! They just keep on wearing their shirts, ties and long pants -- and shoes! They wear shoes that cover their entire foot, and within that shoe is a sock, which covers and warms the skin! If men had to wear sleeveless sundresses and open toed shoes, well, THEN we'd see a change in the A/C level!
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

The best form of heir conditioning is a commission in one's regiment.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I always find it weird to see the number of young women shivering in skimpy outfits outdoors in a Melbourne winter.
