Claim: I feel that the comic strip is indicating that women don’t have the equivalent brain size as men, and implying that women are not as intelligent as men overall.
I feel that this claim is a type of value that men would have. A man tends to feel much more superior to a woman and in this comic, Dilbert is being stereotypical and implying that of course you are cold in the office your brain isn’t nearly as big as mine.
The appeal in this argument is Ethos, the personality of the author as well as the character “Dilbert” is sarcastic and it is evident that the woman becomes very upset from his comment and he doesn’t seem to acknowledge that what he said was insulting rather than an obvious true statement. Dilbert having a much bigger brain and involving it with the temperature of his body is completely irrelevant and it was just a simple way to insult her intelligence.
