As patriarchy as a system of organizing society was established historically, she contends, it can also be ended by the historical process.

Menschen schätzen Risiken oftmals falsch ein, sie besitzen auf der einen Seite zu wenig gesicherte Informationen, auf der anderen Seite greifen sie immer wieder auf ihre Intuition zurück.

Antworten gibt Prof. Gerd Gigerenzer, Kognitionspsychologe und Direktor des Berliner Max-Planck-Instituts für Bildungsforschung.
