If women know something men don't, men could just ask. That seems much more relevant than testing people's play-acting skills, and we'd actually learn what it was. As in this case women could just publish it and get a paper out of it, I doubt it.
For some knowable things. For others (a) women's self-reported knowledge might be unreliable, (b) women might already be telling men, but this does not get through because men have elaborate justifications for why women's self-reports are unreliable, or (c) the knowledge may be tacit and not easily communicable.
