The Patriarctic is a term coined to describe the subtle sexism of men controlling the temperatures of shared environments. It's always geared to be too cold for women because that's where men are most confortable.

Oh.

I actually hadn't heard of that before.

I'm just basically a lizard in terms of personal thermostat. I prefer to be warmer than most people, including most women I've met. If I had my druthers my living space would be 80F all the time (except maybe 75F when I'm sleeping). I realize that I probably won't meet and marry someone who also wants it to be 80F in the house, but I'm not willing to put up with 70 or below all the time. I'd just be miserable.

da

I think they were making a joke in reference to a couple of articles that have been published that show that "most office buildings are kept at a temperature that's comfortable to the average man" rather than for the the average woman (here's one of them: http://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-why-women-are-always-freezing-in-offices-according-to-science). Some people are pushing for this to change because they find it unfair to women, which leads to the idea that temperatures below 75 are The Patriarctic

I find that pretty funny and weird because while I'm sure there is a different average for men and women I've met men who like it warm and women who like it cold (including one of my ex-roommates, who is still my very good friend and who I got along with pretty well while rooming, but we had to compromise on the thermostat. and she's thinner than me in case anyone thinks it's because of weight)
