How is 22C cold? Come to Winnipeg Bbitch. 22C is a scorching summer day here.
HummingBirdFlock
As a man from the tropics that's way too low
IKilledKennyAndIAmABastard
I just always have a scarf in my bag.
thotsandprers
Well,,,22 is kinda cold
kevb0t
Hila, turn the light off! It's triggering me!
DangerDaneDK
22 centigrade is a proper A/C temperature

Saw "Stop sexting air conditioning". Was confused.
laxcaveman
it's actually more about the temperature for optimal brain function.
Cocopenguin618
Its because women wear less to work.

I hate being hot..you can always put more clothes on, but you can only take so many off..
slenders
Tried that once. I dont work there anymore.
MrFamousManny
what a time to be alive.
harbinger01
It's getting nippy in here....I'll let myself out.
PyroDragon
It is a tit bit nipply. We breast turn on the hooter.

h3h3productions made a funny video about this, worth looking up

Sauce?
willitgoalltheway
Was looking for someone to say that. h3h3 is hilarious. Wow Ethan, great moves

22 is pretty darn warm. Especially in the winter. As a Canadian I'm happy with 19 in the winter. 3 degrees is a big heating bill increase.
thedeg
I like my apartment to be a toasty 24 degrees, why wear clothes if you dont have to?
SarcasticUserName
As someone from the Southern US 21-22°C sounds like a pleasant day.
AirlineGeek
I read this story on another American site. The headline is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, it's just talking about how it feels colder to women.

I'm not sure what's worse. The fact that she thinks that or the fact that there are several thousand people who agree with her.
ValiantCoruscare
the time to hear out the points being argued by each side, instead believing the cherrypicked screenshot is an entire argument, is stupid3/3
ValiantCoruscare
If you had watched her video (ie actually listened to her argument), you would have found that she has a scientific point. You can argue 1/2
Jaymezians
I watched the video, but she's still wrong. Just because women feel the cold more than men doesn't mean it's sexism. That's idiotic.
ValiantCoruscare
that her point is weak and does not justify making any changes (and I would agree with you), but entering the conversation without taking2/3

This is the base article, with the research cited in the 3rd paragraph. Posting the Nature link requires you to buy the article.
NuclearWinterIsComing
Also, she's not wrong, but it is intentionally inflammatory and that always bugs me.
YouWillNotLikeThis
Not wrong about women being colder. Wrong about AC tempatures being sexist though.
revcleo
Something is sexist if it intentionally favours one gender. Like how heart attack info tends to be sexist (showing only male symptoms)
YouWillNotLikeThis
Intentionally is a keyword here. Nobody decidede "hey women should die of heart attack more often". It was the result of men having heart
YouWillNotLikeThis
Attacks in higher frequens previusly that led to information focousing on men. Now more women expirences heart attacs and so more focus on
YouWillNotLikeThis
Female symptoms. Just like the increase in obesity is causing more men to develop breast cancer and so more info about male symptoms a
Samammoth
A little silly but real talk, as a chick WHY AM I ALWAYS SO COLD
Starwars2thewrathofhan
And this is why we snuggle.
ImVeronicaCorningstone
Swear to god they keep the thermostat in the motherfucking 50s (Fahrenheit) all year round! I shiver like a chihuahua nonstop
gingerbaconkitty
I feel you. I'm anemic. Fucking freezing always lol.
lickthismiff
Because women's office wear can be something light and airy like a breezy skirt and short sleeved top, whereas men wear black nylon pants /1
lickthismiff
2/ and a long sleeved cotton shirt with a tie. That's part of her complaint, that she wants to wear cool clothes and is then cold...
ITookTheHobbitsToIsengard
I'm wearing dress pants with a sweater and a under shirt and its still fucking freezing.
lickthismiff
Don't get me wrong, my office is like the Arctic, but that's because the AC has 2 settings: Off or frigid gale, not sexism.
Superstzday
I'm a dude. Office is fucking freezing. Send gasoline.
pvublicenema1
I mean my nipples get hard in Phoenix, AZ in the summer!
screemonster
put on a fucking sweater, 'cause I promise you don't want to see me take my shirt off.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
If you are cold, put on a sweater. Or stop complaining when I take off my pants. Up to you.
akshually
That's cold.
esmemang
You're so cool
FlakeyCroissants

Syfulus
thats perfect
reijigin
Yeah seriously, 23 is perfectly comfortable for most people innit? A few will be warm and a few will be cold but MOST will be happy.
nitebandit
As an American living in Europe, I keep my house at 21C.
lonelysock
FYI environmentally, cooling should be set at 24-25C, heating at 18-19C
JohnCalvinCoolidgeJr
shouldn't it be "live in a hole in the ground using no power"? since i can't do it "enviornmentally", I'm gonna be comfortable at around 22C
uberarticuno
I think it means Celsius rather than Fahrenheit.
iMonaghan
So that's what the big C is, figures.
uberarticuno
Oh yeah it even says it. You can't expect me to scroll the WHOLE way back up and check!
SunflowerKid
Even if that was true, it's easier for a woman to put a sweater on than it is for a guy to cool himself down.
Despereauxtilling
True enough: My engineering textbook even notes the difference between cooling requirements for men and women. Mainly driven by fashion...
RunsWithBullShit
22 seems like a fair median between a woman's nipples being hard and a man's ball sweat dripping down his legs.
missing7
As I man, I'd be freezing my balls off at 22.
TheIkeaMonkey
Does that really happen?? Does ball sweat really drip down legs?
MundaneFacts
"Dude. Did you piss yourself?" "What? *looks down* No that's sweat."
RunsWithBullShit
When I don't wear underwear.
LetumComplexo
Yes. The few times I've needed to wear a tuxedo in the Deep South my pants were like a sauna.
TheIkeaMonkey
omg
Kiwi31415
Our manager insists on it being 23 - I have a fan on my desk to keep cool
Redmancometh
And now you see a significant positive of farenheight. Greater thermostat precision..do metric thermostats have decimals?
Kiwi31415
No, but I doubt the sensors would be accurate enough to make it worthwhile.
missing7
With no physical exertion, sitting at your desk, you're warm at 23? That's insane to me. I'd be so cold.
yearofthegasleak
Sorry, but 22 feels like Satan's sweaty taint. 15 is perfect. Sincerely, Canadian Female.
cheezeits
I can't take more clothing off to cool down, cold people (gurs or girls) can put a sweater on.
mechanimated
This is a common argument that doesn't take into account that male and female business wear is different. Touch some mens jeans vs womens /1
mechanimated
jeans for example. Womens clothes are usually made of much thinner material. But also, both men and women have been shown to perform /2
TyrionLannisterTheImp
Thiiiiiiisssssssss
mechanimated
better at all sorts of tasks when at warmer temperatures. /3
cheezeits
Yes but I'm not doing anything well while sweating my balls off
mechanimated
There IS a middle ground you know, you don't have to ramp it up to Mordor right off the bat.
cheezeits
When you find an effective way to explain that to cold people you let me know #imahumanfurnace
Xist3nce
I live in a house where my roommate keeps it icy. Try typing 5 hours straight when you can see your breath, I hate people who like the cold.
keaoli
Im from the UK, if the heat goes over like 15-17 degrees i start to melt

cntdn
So you are cold like 98% of the time?
NewCrobuzonCitizen
Srsly what the hell. If I cannot hang at home in t-shirt and shorts its too cold.
Tyr13
So you dont wear t-shirts at -5? Weirdo. :P
firefoot
I can't go on holiday to hot places except in the winter. After 20 degrees
DisturbedRanga
As an Aussie, under 18°C is too cold, above 40°C is too hot.
jdlsharkman
I've seen 40c here in Texas. I played American football in it.
JustLivin
I'm from the US, you're going to get hypothermia.
ArcipluvianCosmicGallows
15-17 in celsius is 59-63 in normal
zaqwsx82211
As some one who likes his apartment at 80 I see no fault in the original statement. Hypothermia is dangerous, why chance it?
ArcipluvianCosmicGallows
But 80 celsius is shitfuckinghot in normal!
Lulabel73
Aussie here, I worked in a place where you'd wear a coat in summer. Outside 37c inside 17c.
Deliriunium
As a Finn, you don't kno nutin'.
PunkyPhoenicopterus
Southern NZ, my ideal temp is around the 10-12 degree mark. Apparently I'm a freak lol.
bittergiraffe
Care to put those in freedom numbers?
asteconn
As a British, I concur with this sentiment. 18°C is ideal for me, maybe up to 21°C if the weather is good.
Stuebydoo
15*C is good for me. Sub 10 *C if I'm moving about
imagoner
The AC at my work doesn't go below 18 :(
airen
My apartment is 20-22 degrees. I dont understand how this is sexist.
Axeking12
Canada here, -20 is T-shirt weather
bimpnottin
I'm from Belgium, I'm still cold at 25°C.
missing7
As a Texan, I'm cold at 27°C and frozen to death at 12°C. (I'd like to thank Google for its conversions)
rezpawner
As a Norwegian, 15 sounds just about right. Hard nipples > Sweaty viking. I think most would agree.
KlaatuBaradaMumbleMumble
Um... I kind of like sweaty vikings. But also like hard nipples to nipple pinchy. It's a win/win/
StringVariable
I don't know. I think I'd need to see for myself ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
rezpawner
Well, you're in luck! I'll be sweating my way through Gatwick airport tomorrow, carrying about 50 kilos worth of luggage!
StringVariable
Pics or it didn't happen. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
CliveBarkersMysteryHole
Actually offices tend to be kept colder to accommodate men wearing suits (which tend to be kind of hot on account of the layers) so this 1/2
RandomAbscessMemories
Additionally, men and women tend to be comfortable at different temperatures.
PricklyGoo
Not always true. It's to counter body/technology heat. People are more likely to be ornery when it's too hot versus when it's too cold.
NoodleyLove
It's ALWAYS way too hot at work and I'd rather put on a fucking sweater than be on the verge of vomiting because I'm dizzy from the heat.
BloodyStoopidJohnson
as a facilities manager, I can say that every building I have managed has had about 5% complainers, no matter the HVAC systems in use
CliveBarkersMysteryHole
isn't entirely unfounded. However the problem could be easily solved by just adopting less rigid dress codes. 2/2
theplayahaterball
Or women adhering to dress codes insted of calling them sexist?
snowdrift
there was a study about ditching suits to fight climate change.
Timeandrelativedimensionsinspaghetti
Also women who have hot flashes turn it down. OMG ITS NOT A ONE SIDED ISSUE?!?!
Beelsebooob
Except it couldn't - because most men are still hot in t-shirts if it's above 21-22°C.
GunTotingRedneck
"..most men..":generalization, the post
SarcasticUserName
As someone from the Southern US 21-22°C sounds like a pleasant day to me.
bud467
Ditto.
SarcasticUserName
I was in Athens, GA Saturday and it was raining and in the mid 60s F and there were girls wearing shorts skirts and light dresses.
