Of course these discussions do get out of hand, and it's true that not all forms of inequality are completely valid in all cases, but it seems best to ignore the people you disagree with instead of trying to convince them to be like you. This goes for all discussions both on and offline. However, if you're in an arena where being argumentative is encouraged than you should have a better argument than "stop being so sensitive!" and the other side should have an argument other then "things are unfair" or else you barely even have a real conversation going.
