In general, when making an example that could equally be made in either direction, I think it's best to go the direction against what you think - or what others think you think.

So in the same way I think Yvain's post would have been improved if his examples had been against positions he held, so too you might in future want your examples to be phrased more like

For example, Norm New-Guy or Felicity the Feminist says "I think X is a problem," you can point eir to the narratives, and say "8/10 women disagree." (or vice versa).

Obveously this is a purely about reducing system 1 negative reactions to posts and demonstrating an ability to visualise the other side's hypothesis, and not a content issue at all. It's much like the motivation behind Politics is the Mind Killer.
