Stubborness is a sign of stupidity.

If I think the universe is chaotic, there's no way I'm going to convince you it's orderly. But life maybe change you, and argument rarely does. That doesn't mean it's not worth discussing, though.
Nah. It depends (on the argumentation). If you have some physics proficiency, you can add some well-sourced facts to your argument. How do you think scientists are spending their days? Evidence based arguments matter and not baseless de facto assertions.

Change to what ? Not even feminists know what they want.
Some are against prostitution, some want more rights, some want to be treated as equal, some say "he for she" is empowering, some say it's patronizing. Some hate bisexuals, some don't, some just care about "regular" gays, some want meritocracy, some say meritocracy is a lie, some want to censor, some want more outlets, some people dismiss sexual dimorphism, some think that everything is a construct, some people talk about cultural appropiation, some about cultural exchange, etc. etc. etc.
There are hundreds of examples, and people talk like "truth" is a real thing, like morality is something that is unmovable.
We still don't know how to handle individualism and society, and societies with mankind.

Wherever you want to follow it or not it's up to you but if you present valid arguments they will be lost in your opposition's eyes within the ad hominems and comstant appeals to emotion.
