QUOTE : <i>Eyebeam:</i> What do you mean, I have “male answer syndrome”?<br /><br /><i>Sally:</i> It’s the compulsion to provide an answer to any question, even if it means resorting to pure speculation.<br /><br /><i>Eyebeam:</i> I knew that…<br /><br /><i>Sally:</i> It’s a very widespread phenomenon.<br /><br /><i>Beth:</i> I wonder what causes it?<br /><br /><i>Eyebeam:</i> Cause? Well, society has chosen male role models who always exhibit total control… If a male says “I don’t know”, he’s admitting to conversational helplessness and failing to live up to that societal standard…<br /><br /><i>Sally:</i> Pretty pitiful, huh?<br /><br /><i>Eyebeam:</i> Damn!<br /><br /><i>Beth:</i> …And I always thought they learned it all in “shop”.
