Even people with obnoxious views (sexist, racist) aren't terrible; sexism and racism are usually a result of history and social norms not personal choice. Gently planting anti-sexist ideas in a non-confrontational way allows you to have a positive relationship with such a person without ignoring the negative aspects.

The platform matters as well. Facebook is designed in such a way that self-promoters and low-brow content fill the news feed.
