This happened to me once...I stuck up for what I believed in and got a terrible grade, although I had another professor in the same department read the paper and tell me what kind of grade he would have given me, and he would have given me MUCH better than what I got (like, 2 letter grades).
That one paper didn't affect my grade in the class too awfully much, and it was toward the end of the semester, so she couldn't really penalize me on anything else. But I have the pride to tell this story and say that I stood up for what I believed in, and guess what...some employers ask for examples of stuff like that during job interviews and there you go, you have an answer. Nifty!
I say go against her opinion and write your paper the way you want it written.
