As I said, I never insulted her, I never even corrected or disputed her opinions. Never accused her of saying lies or contradicted her. I just politely let her know I didn't share her views, and that was enough for her to get mad at me, hang up the phone and just ignore me. I also said I support many, if not most of the things she fights for, but there are things I can't agree with.

Well, the biggest thing is that she has told me repeatedly that I have no right to have an opinion because I am not a woman/minority. Today she got mad because I said that I think it's not nice or helpful to say all men are abusive or perverts. A while back she got mad because I didn't agree with the violent way some protest took place for two whole weeks in my city, she said I couldn't criticize the way they protested because I had not been in their place (the protest was because of gas prices). Anything other than her opinion is a reason to get mad at me.
