I find that's most difficult for men, who are more used to having their opinion given the weight of fact, even if it's rooted in anger admit that they 'think' or 'feel" differently than a woman about something, rather than trying to attempt to present it as a flaw or shortcoming with the woman. The idea that someone, (especially woman) one disagrees with could be just as or more savvy or experienced or intelligent as oneself is something many men never learn.
Good to see that you've opened the door to at least considering that possibility.
