Sensesplaining

A combination of Senselighting and Digitalsplaining: the perpetrator “explains” to the target why their own words don’t make sense, often by redefining terms, ignoring context, or insisting on a reading that the target never intended. Sensesplaining is designed to make the target feel that they cannot communicate clearly, while the perpetrator positions themselves as the one who “sees through” the confusion. It is frequently used in political or philosophical debates to dismiss opposing views as inherently incoherent.

Example: “She said she valued both evidence and intuition; he replied with a lecture on why ‘intuition’ is just bias, explaining her own beliefs to her. Sensesplaining: pretending to clarify while actually dismissing.”

sense
