Fight the dress code instead, man. It's stupid that you have to wear suit and tie anywhere, but especially to freakin' work in summertime. If women can wear temperature appropriate clothes, so can men. Shorts it is.

I agree with you, but my work involves lawyers and government so that's not going to happen.

But I said to someone else, if the office was all women and half were suffering hot flashes, they shouldn't have to suffer because someone refused to wear a cardigan.

But that's the annoying thing, we've just invented the need to wear suits to be a worthy human. No suit, no skills. I'm really glad that my job doesn't require such nonsense. I get that you alone can't turn up to work with bermuda shorts and your favorite band t-shirt, but I wish you could.

A cardigan still isn't nearly as warm as a full suit.

Good thing I wasn't talking about suits in that example because it was all women. You didn't even read the comment before responding.
