Uh, I dunno about you, but somone thinking an entire gender shouldn't have the right to vote is a /pretty/ big deal.
No offense, but I don't see how she can be a great friend when she has such an outdated and dehumanizing veiw on women.

I think that society has lost the ability to disagree with other people without going crazy over it.

This is a major problem, in my opinion.

I have another friend (who I'm significantly less close to, but I still talk to) who literally thought we should nuke the Middle East into submission. You know what? I talked him out of it. Over time, he's slowly become more rational. If I just called him a hateful bigot instead of saying, "Oh really? Why is that?" he would STILL believe that's a good idea. I still have hopes that I can get him in therapy for his emotional problems, but he's considerably more stable for being friends with me. I also talked him out of sympathy for misogynists, WHILE BEING A WOMAN, simply by reasoning it out logically with him and pointing out the flaws in his logic.

There's a black man in some eastern US state that single-handedly dismantled the local KKK ... by befriending them and showing them that their racism was wrong. He said that a lot of them weren't evil people, but they had deep-set wrong ideas about black people, often as a result as being raised by racists.

Are their racists and misogynists who can't be reasoned with? Sure. But I've met a lot who can be. I think it's worth making connections with those people, and challenging their views. And the best way to do that ... is actually to care about them, and recognize their good qualities as well as their bad.
