“The way I see the world and the relationship between men and women is that even when both sides have the best of intentions, when they have a positive attitude and really want to communicate, it’s still very difficult for them. Sometimes, it’s even impossible. I think this is what we are observing in Poland now, but I don’t think it’s just a local issue. […]
It lies in a fact that many people are already aware of: after a very long period of male domination, women have become empowered and want their voices to be heard. They demand a social existence. And this is having a great impact on our lives and on the way we communicate, because we are drifting apart in our needs. I can see it clearly in the generation of forty-somethings that I belong to. I think we are the acid test for how things at the moment are changing between men and women.”
