I'm not really qualified to give any advice, I'm afraid.

All I would ask is that you keep us regularly updated with your discussions.

Hilarious.

I sympathise. I've been in similar situations, though not over this particular subject matter.
​
It's hard to give any specific advice, but I suppose some kind of very subtle, indirect strategy has to be the way. And I guess it's going to be a long-term strategy too. Maybe show your girlfriend how to appreciate 2 sides of an argument on a far less sensitive subject, and gradually build on that so she opens up her opinion on other things.
