“A married guy is responsible for everything, no matter what. Women, thanks to their having been oppressed all these years, are blameless, free as birds, and all the dirt they do is the result of premenstrual syndrome or postmenstrual stress or menopause or emotional disempowerment by their fathers or low expectations by their teachers or latent unspoken sexual harassment in the workplace, or some other airy excuse. The guy alone is responsible for every day of marriage that is less than marvelous and meaningful.” YearsMatterGuyFatherResultsTeacherEmotionalMarriedLowsBirdExpectationsStressResponsibleNo Matter WhatExcuseMeaningfulThanksDirtOppressedMarvelousWorkplaceUnspokenHarassmentSyndromesLatentAiryMenopauseBlamelessLow ExpectationsDisempowerment Book:The Book of Guys: Stories Source: The Book of Guys: Stories

“Now I realize that I have to let everyone take what they have to take from the film. No matter what I think about the film, it becomes a little irrelevant. I think I would say that the film is trying to show us that - and I spoke about that earlier - we have to let the teachers invest in their own classroom. There's no use in trying to control everything. Education is fundamental.” ThinkingTryingLittlesMatterUseShowsFilmRealizingTeacherNo Matter WhatFundamentalsSpokesClassroomIrrelevant Author:Philippe Falardeau
