A world tailored to Men

dimanche 18 décembre 2022 à 12:48

Article talking about how the world is tailored toward men.

For the most of the issues listed, I agree that we should change practices so that they serve women as well as men. I disagree in regard to office temperature, though, for the simple reason that you can wear more clothing without limit, but there are limits to how much you clothing can remove in an office with other workers. If at that point some people are still too hot, the only solution that can satisfy everyone is to make the office cool enough for them, and for those who find that too cold to wear another layer.

There were times that my office in the Stata Center was so hot that I needed to be nude to be comfortable. I kept the door locked so that visitors would knock and I could ask them to wait a minute. I did not usually explain that this was so I could put my shirt and pants on.
