Women's Prerogative

[sr71blackbird]

<p>Not trying to cause any &quot;issue&quot;, but I would like it discussed.&nbsp; Not that discussing it will make any difference, but I do like to see what the average person feels about this.<br /><br />In my office, the women complain about the air conditioning and either make the company&nbsp;turn it down, or else they open the windows and plug in electric heaters.&nbsp; Men cannot say anything about it.&nbsp; Men have to wear long pants and put up with being hot and sweat our asses off and can <u>never</u> wear shorts.&nbsp;&nbsp; But women wear shrt dresses with their legs exposed and sleeveless dresses and shirts and naturally feel cold from the AC.&nbsp; <br /><br />Why is it a taboo subject that the company has to spend a lot of money cooling an office while the windows are open and heaters are blasting in the summer?&nbsp; What if men behaved this way?<br /><br />Believe me, I am not complaining about seeings legs exposed.&nbsp; It just seems an odd throwback quirk of a standard that women, in this age of equality, have this prerogative.&nbsp; Why cant men dress comfortably?&nbsp; Why are men&nbsp;wearing shorts a no-no in the business world? </p><p><br />I am just wondering what <u>you</u> feel.&nbsp; Discuss!</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Women are always cold. Except when they're screaming at you. <br />

<p>The Sunday NY Times Fashion &amp; Style section just covered this, well, not so much the women plugging in heaters and opening windows (which will happen no matter what because some women are just stupid), but the &quot;why cant/dont men wear shorts to the office?&quot;:</p><p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/06/fashion/06HEAT.html?_r=1&ref=fashion&oref=slogin" target="_blank" title="NY Times - Shorts, Men and Laughs">I Wore Shorts to Work and They All Laughed</a>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And our air conditioning system has been on the fritz since we moved into the building 5 years ago, so I started keeping a sweater and a blanket in my desk drawer. If I'm chilly, I just put on a sweater. And if my legs get cold, I have the blanket as a backup.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

My divorce lawyers have advised me not to post in this thread.

<p>Because women can do whatever they want. The run us. They complain about equality but they know deep down that God blessed them with the power (between their legs)</p><p>Just put the a/c on and if they get cold tell them to get a fucking blanket or wear some fucking clithes that cover their legs and tits!!!</p>

<p>I just assumed that since there is still a higher number of men in management, that they are more apt to listen and sympathize with someone who has a vagina rather than a penis.</p><p>Although, the clever ones will pretend that the temperature is controlled by someone else in a remote location, causing the women to work all day with THOs.</p>
