Never mind the suffragette movement of the 19th-c., democracy and women's rights were Enlightenment ideas and there are many quotes of the foremost Enlightenment thinkers (such as J.S. Mill) supporting them quite strongly. So, either the Enlightenment itself wasn't 'radical' at least in this sense, or the whole idea that "radicals anywhere and at any time have faulty metacognition" is, well, faulty.
