Cynthia Nixon Fights Back — Against ‘Sexist’ Debate Venue Temperatures
28th August 2018
Actress-turned-gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon has laid out one very specific demand going into Wednesday’s televised debate with her primary opponent, New York’s incumbent Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo: she wants the temperature in the debate hall of Hofstra University on Long Island raised to 76 degrees for the event.A top Nixon strategist, Rebecca Katz, reportedly emailed WCBS-TV ahead of the event, suggesting that a failure to agree to that particular temperature setting could be viewed as “sexist.” The New York Times, upon obtaining a copy of that email, reported, “Ms. Katz wrote that working conditions are ‘notoriously sexist when it comes to room temperature, so we just want to make sure we’re all on the same page here’.”
I’m really curious how a temperature can be ‘sexist’. I think it’s more a case of the candidate being ‘moronic’.
