Why do feminists ignore at best and deny at worst the negative experience Norah Vincent had when disguising herself as a man?

Most people who commit themselves to a given narrative practice willful ignorance when meaningful information comes to light that directly and powerfully refutes that narrative.
There’s an excellent book called “Being Wrong” by Kathryn Schultz that explores those kinds of things. I think it should be mandatory reading at every level of education.

Can you gimme a synopsis?

[Chazmatazz269]

Probably not a good one. Ell oh ell!

Probably because most of them haven't read her book, and are simply presented with her conclusions without explanation. If they actually get one, well, people spend their whole lives inundated with the idea that to be a woman is to be a victim, and vice versa, and few bother to question it (and those who DO get smacked down pretty harshly); something flying directly in the face of it, even if only to say "Men have problems, too, and we as a society ignore them at the peril of all of us", is NOT going to be well received.

And that's just normal people. Feminists in particular (though I stress they're not alone in this) have a great deal invested in their own notions of victimhood and helplessness, not from personal experience or choices, but inherent to their gender. To challenge that is to challenge the core of their dogma.

Becuase they deny science

If they admitted they were wrong theyd have to admit to all kinds of shit they are wrong about

And its a defense mechanism
Denial is

Its basic psychology when it comea down to it

[CriticalCatDad123]

Agreed. Women can't even admit when they're wrong in a relationship. It's always the men who have to apologize for everything

The simple answer is, because it doesn't support their narrative. Feminists are not interested in what is right; they are ony interested in BEING right. Feminists are perhaps the most prolic examples ever of confirmation bias.

Confirmation bias.
