Understanding different subject-positions isn't easy work, and many people will suspect you of both-sides-ism for doing it.
But seeking to understand others protects you from two fallacies: straw man and incredulity.
Straw men are fun punching bags that tell you nothing useful about what you're resisting.
Incredulity lets you say "I can't imagine how anyone would naturally hold another POV"--& fill in the blank with conspiratorial conjecture.
Both leave us tilting at windmills.
