Because sometimes subjective experiences are helpful but more often they just contradict each other & ppl pick ones that agree with them.

Subjective experiences are mostly useful when you want to know what a particular subject experienced. Otherwise statistics are better.

And acknowledging this does not make one heartless as so often insisted. Solving problems on a large scale requires data.

It's helping with problems on a small scale that doesn't. If my friend has had a horrible experience, I'll just listen & sympathise with her

Ppl claiming to go on 'lived experiences' so often fail to realise they pick the ones they listen to & so are really listening to themselves

We see it all the time with anti-sex-work & pro-sex-work feminists. Forever presenting each other with contradictory lived experiences.

Ultimately it comes down to setting your own ethical principles & arguing for them. This is what ppl who claim to go by lived experience do

but they don't admit they're doing it. They just present the experiences which match their own values & claim other isn't listening to group
