From Why Don’t ‘Good Men’ Believe Women? by Soraya Chemaly

The doubt that so many men feel when hearing #MeToo stories may have a logical explanation. Denying that sexual harassment and assault are part and parcel of so many women’s daily lives is a form of identity protective cognition — a documented phenomenon in which individuals who encounter new information that is inconsistent with their beliefs and cultural identity tend to dismiss or diminish that information. They do so to protect their sense of self and the social position of the affinity group they belong to. Arguably, what is frightening to these men is not that women are lying, but that they are telling the truth — and that truth is a direct challenge to the masculine identity they’ve grown up with.
