Interestingly enough, I don't think the main issue here is about men vs. women, but rather about thin vs. thick. It just so happens that men tend to be thicker on average, so they are more comfortable in lower ambient temperatures. The thermostat at my office is controlled by the head honcho, who is a big man with quite a few extra pounds. Him and a similarly big-bellied coworker are the only ones comfortable at the lowest setting. Everyone else freezes their asses off. We are in Austin, TX, where it gets 100 F during summer, and I want to be able to wear short-sleeved polos but I can't, even though our dress code is business casual. The article is correct in the sense that women on average have it more difficult because of body composition (more water weight = harder to retain body heat), but men with low body fat also tend to have issues.
