Wie de afdeling populaire psychologie in de boekhandel bezoekt, vindt al snel de dominante verklaring voor de bekende 'man-vrouwverschillen': in de oertijd waren de mannen dagenlang op jacht en bleven de vrouwen thuis met de kinderen. Dit soort rolverdelingen, zo wordt ons verteld, heeft voor allerlei aangeboren verschillen gezorgd, zoals een beter richtingsgevoel voor mannen en betere sociale vaardigheden voor vrouwen.
Asha ten Broeke, columnist bij Trouw en wetenschapsjournalist, doet in Het idee m/v op vlotte en humorvolle wijze een radicaal andere theorie uit de doeken. Uit recente wetenschappelijke ontwikkelingen blijkt dat de meeste verschillen juist niet uit de oertijd stammen. In plaats daarvan worden ze veroorzaakt door hardnekkige denkbeelden die zich, met behulp van biologische mechanismen zoals epigenetica en de plasticiteit van het brein, in onze cultuur genesteld hebben. De meeste man-vrouwverschillen berusten op ideeën die grotendeels onbewust van generatie op generatie worden doorgegeven. Volgens Asha is het tijd deze te ontmaskeren.

There is a growing recognition that the diversity of life comprises both biological and cultural diversity. But this division is not universal and, in many cases, has been deepened by the common disciplinary divide between the natural and social sciences and our apparent need to manage and control nature. This book goes beyond divisive definitions and investigates the bridges linking biological and cultural diversity. The international team of authors explore the common drivers of loss, and argue that policy responses should target both forms of diversity in a novel integrative approach to conservation, thus reducing the gap between science, policy and practice. While conserving nature alongside human cultures presents unique challenges, this book forcefully shows that any hope for saving biological diversity is predicated on a concomitant effort to appreciate and protect cultural diversity.
