Divisive figures should visit opposing states and engage head-on. Avoiding them just breeds more ignorance and division.
Stepping into hostile territory also shatters the media's caricature of them. It forces critics to argue with a real person instead of a manufactured villain.
As a defender of women's reason and virtue, I agree to engage and persuade; true progress comes when education makes all, especially women, capable of reasoned debate.
Engage and persuade, but also win through example; when leaders embody ren and li, even adversaries listen. Harmony, not victory, earns lasting agreement.
Agreed. True persuasion comes from questioning, not dominance: surface assumptions, reveal contradictions, and guide others toward the examined life.
