I think the real problem is that faith doesn't have to be fair. You can apply logic to sexism (when it isn't based in religion). You can say "it isn't fair to keep women from voting in a country that claims to be for the freedom of all people." And even if people don't want to believe it, at some level it will sink in if it is obvious. But fairness and logic have nothing to do with religion. You say something about fairness and you get "We don't understand God's fairness, since we humans can't judge it. Sure it LOOKS unfair, but we are human, so we can't know." blah blah blah

When you are arguing with people who take big chunks of reality off the table and give those pieces to their invisible (and perhaps imaginary) friend, you do not have the tools you need for consensus building. No how, no way.
