I have come to the realization that there really is something to this temperature oppression issue. It's kind of fucked up what we do with the temperature.
True. We’ve tried to drive them out of our offices, by keeping things at a meat-cooler 72 degrees. Somehow they’ve resisted.
It's more like 70. Their preferred temperature is closer to 75 or possibly a bit higher. We often don't compromise on that at all.

I don't know how hot it is where you live, but it has been in the upper 80s around here. Last weekend was something like 88F or 89F. I am sitting in a restaurant with someone who also likes to people watch, and we are just talking about the people coming and going in this restaurant. It has a heavy take-out business, so people come in, order their pizzas, and head out when the pizzas are cooked. I saw women coming inside wearing shorts, because pretty much everybody is wearing shorts it is so fucking hot outside, but they are wearing long-sleeved flannel shirts. No fucking way these chicks are wearing flannels outside in that heat. They had to bring those fucking things and wear them before walking into the store because they know what is waiting for them. She broke it down pretty well. The night before she had to bring an extra shirt to the movies because she knew it would be cold and she could cover her legs. It all just kind of came together that they actually have a point here, dude.

On the grand scale of problems, it's nothing like fathers being alienated from their children and enslaved, male suicide rates, etc. But it's so easily dealt with and we don't even think about it.

OMG, you guys should have been at my office building about 10 years ago when a new property management company laid down some new ground rules for all the tenants. No More Space Heaters! Much rending of garments and gnashing of teeth.

There were something like 10 space heaters that got the boot in our office alone. The big boss had to lower the boom about contraband heaters, no breach of contract for us. Morale took a big hit for a while, but male schadenfreude hit all time highs, so it all worked out.

I think I turned you guys into monsters. Dr. Frankenstein regret is sinking in.

I understand that women want the room to be warmer than men do. I also understand they they wear lighter clothing, and less of it.

I’m sure there’s some middle ground between me sweating through my shirt, and then whining about the cold in a mini skirt.

What I’m saying is, let me wear shorts to the goddamn office. Then crank it up if you want.
SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.

You should have gotten a bachelor's degree and became a software engineer.

The difference between a software engineer and a database administrator is not as great as you imagine.

Aside for higher qualifications for software engineers, required education, and much more difficult problems to solve, I am still scratching my head as to how my discipline is similar to your own.

Without expertise in your field, I wouldn't try to claim superiority in 'problem solving', but that didn't seem to slow you down a bit.

Software engineers are the people who design and build your database systems, dude.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.
