ooh I'm freezing ooh ooh ooh

I have nothing against women and am a supporter of all that equal rights stuff, but I thought women were mammals and thereby warm blooded, as in able to generate body heat.

Its obviously not the case for specimens born in the UK. Its a pleasantly warm day outside (around 20 C), blue skies etc etc. But yet the entire day my female colleagues have been fretting and moaning about the fact that I have my desk fan on and how cold it is and how they're freezing.

Its a fan ferchrissake, not a fridge. All the guys in the office are wearing shortsleeved shirts and are happily getting on with their work; all the women are rubbing their arms and tut-tutting about the inconsiderate brutes who have dared to either a) crack a window open or b) switch a fan on.
If you're cold you have arrange of options available to you to make your life more comfortable:

a) Put your jacket/ sweater on.
b) Get off your ass and go make me some tea. Movement generates heat, plus you get to hug the kettle.
c) This one's tricky- in the morning, if you think the ambient temperature for the day is going to be less than the 40 C you require in order to not feel cold, wear something more substanstial than a flimsy skirt, breezy blouse and useless sandals (that you no doubt paid some ridiculous sum of money for).
d) Eat something besides lettuce. Put some meat on your bones.
