selective obliviousness

Having the mental capacity to understand something that's painfully obvious to anybody else and/or has overwhelming and undeniable evidence, but deliberately ignoring it for any number of reasons. Compare willful ignorance.

Jean was presented with mountains of evidence that her husband was cheating on her, and more-or-less covered her ears and went "LALALALALA." I swear, she's engaging in selective obliviousness.

Selective Equality

When people want equality in situations where they've historically been disadvantaged, but want tradition in situations where they've historically been advantaged.

Wanting equal pay but expecting the guy to always pay is selective equality.

Selective Outburst

Flipping out at a moment that you selected of a time/situation. Rather than doing it any time any place! 😆🤕👀🙄

selective replying

When those annoying girls on snap choose what to reply to and just leave you on open for 48 hours otherwise

You: Bro why does she leave me on opened sometimes but sometimes she wants to reply

Bro: Honestly she’s just selective replying at this point.

Selective Reader

When you’re in an online argument and someone only mentions a part of your argument that they can use against you to make it seem like you lost is a selective reader.

I was in an argument with someone Twitter who only used some parts of my texts to counter argue. What a selective reader!
