    why do people gender everything. I definitely like the water hotter than my wife does. whoops, we’re both trans I guess… what a way to find out.

    also my wife is wrong, so are “men” according to whoever made this meme. the best temp is the exact temp that will scold your skin minus 1 degree Celsius.

      this does appear to just be an innocent meme based on maybe one anecdote. it reinforces stereotypical thinking and maybe wants to introduce a new one, but it’s not all that harmful. many people in the comments here shared their own experience and their own gender, and so someone who does visit the comments gains a bit of wisdom instead.

      also screw scolding my skin, I love body temperature or slightly below that showers.

      (reading this back, wow I sound like a crappy AI. my apolocheese.)

      “Everyone knows this temperature dries you out! If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you 1000 times!” - Water 1 degree Celsius hotter than your preferred/best temp to your skin
