I agree. The first paragraph describes "women having the right to vote" as something which was once "the radical fringes of society".

The second paragraph blames radicalism "on a faulty metacognition", and later on that "Dogmatic people manifest a lowered capacity to discriminate between their correct and incorrect decisions".

The referenced paper includes "Radical participants showed less insight into the accuracy of their decisions".

But nowhere does it explain how the radical proponents of the suffragette movement of the 1800s has anything to do with faulty metacognition.
