How to talk to sceptics – without needing to win

Kristen got cornered at a party by a guy insisting women are outstripping men on every metric, and spent the weekend rarked up about it (now officially in the Oxford English Dictionary, by the way).

Then the practical bit: how to handle these conversations when they find you, from getting curious instead of combative (It’s hard!).
