There's a physiological reason for the differing attitude between the sexes with regard to what constitutes a comfortable room temperature. It's something along the lines of women's higher proportion of body fat insulating their skin from the warmth in their core, whereas men tend to have larger muscles which kick out sufficient heat to keep the sensation of temperature at the skin surface at an agreeable level in cooler environments.
However I'm still not sure that fully explains the time when I was in an open plan office and had to ask for something to be done about the 2kW fan heater being used at the row of desks behind me as the flow of warm air was making me feel uncomfortable. The owner of the fan had it positioned pointing directly at her shins at a distance of approximately 12 inches.

Emo Oil
I bought some once but I couldnt get it out of the tin. I called customer support and they told me I just didnt understand.
When I finally got some out and used it within 7 days I was miserable, hated life and nobody understood me anymore and my Joy Division collection sounded great again. Five stars would recommend if anyone would just listen to me for once.
