Bitterly dispute women's right to confront opinion (7)

I believe the answer is:

wrangle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bitterly dispute' is the definition.
'wrangle' can be an answer for 'dispute' (wrangling is a kind of disputing). I'm unsure of the 'bitterly' bit.

'women's right to confront opinion' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found within the answer.
'opinion' could be 'angle' (I've seen this before) and 'angle' is located in the answer.
'women' could be 'w' and 'w' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wrangle that I've seen before include "Complicated dispute" , "Noisy dispute" , "Argue noisily" , "angry argument" , "'Quarrel, brawl (7)'" .)
