Re: friendship troubles...

Many desires that are not wrong are nonetheless misplaced. As adults, we all have to learn to read clues that certain things will not be addressed and are not OK to keep after, hounding. OP is dealing with a friend, not a congressional panel that must address inequalities; if OP doesn't like this, they can drop the woman as a friend. That's her right - but forcing the conversations OP wants to have is not.

...But the op doesn't want to drag out a conversation. Just a simple "no, I don't want to talk about this" or something like that, instead of silence.

Yes, as adults we read many cues, but silence, as ayrt said, can be interpreted in so many different ways and lead to so many different interpretations that the easiest way to avoid a misunderstanding or hurt feelings is to be frank.

Frankly, silence hurts much more than a negative.

As I told someone below (and yes, I was the anon above - I wasn't signed in on that device, sorry), I thought OP was asking what THEY could do in this situation. When OP learns mind control and how to make the friend bring up/not bring up things on command, they'll be able to dictate what they want her to think anyway, and all of this will be moot. :-)
