I work in an office where almost nobody wears a suit but the A/C is still way too cold. Even the men sometimes bring extra layers to keep warm with.

I think at this point this low temperature has less to do with patriarchy and more to do with tradition---the thermostat is set to 68 because that's what thermostats are set to. Maybe a few well-articulated complaints to the facilities people could make a difference? Who doesn't want to be able to claim they saved the company $X million in energy costs?

Of course, the reverse is often an issue in the winter: the heat is up way too high. We've essentially reversed the seasons inside our buildings!
