"And it's absolutely true that male sexual behaviour and female responses to male demands change a lot when they start communicating - and the levels of the communication that I've seen on the ground in very, very poor areas are so high and I think why don't we have that here?"

In this quote, Emma Thompson is talking about the effect of communication on male sexual behavior and female reactions to male demands. She notes that in impoverished locations, where communication levels are high, there is an obvious modification in these dynamics. Thompson concerns why this level of interaction is not present in other areas. This suggests that open and truthful interaction can cause a shift in power dynamics and possibly improve relationships in between men and women. Thompson's observation highlights the value of interaction in dealing with problems associated with gender and sexuality. It also raises the concern of why this level of interaction is not more prevalent in other communities.
