A journalist for the Washington Post surely agrees with these findings. Petula Dvorak wrote an article complaining about how women are forced to cover up their fun, summer attire with sweaters and cardigans because modern office buildings are too cold for women. Do you feel that your place of employment is too cold? Yes, and I'm a woman.
