Selective hearing refers to the way people only hear a part of what someone is saying — often, it's what they want or expect to hear — and miss out on the rest.
This tends to cause conflict, riffs and miscommunication in relationships.
It is also very annoying and RUDE.

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.

Get the selective obliviousness mug.Selective altruism is essentially when someone imprints on one to very few people, and ends up being aggressive to anyone else.
Person 1 “would you stop being such a selective altruist?” Selective altruism at work

UM... DA ECONOMY! YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT! DA ECONOMY! THEY'RE NOT USING THEIR PUSSY AS A BEAR TRAP FOR RICH PEOPLE WHILE FUCKING ALL OF THE FAT COCKS! THAT'S NOT IT!"
Hym "If they are getting an abortion because they DON'T WANT TO HAVE THE CHILD OF THE GUY THEY FUCKED WILLINGLY... And abortion leads to the dissolution of relationships more often than not... Then women are engaging in selective reproduction. They're literally doing the thing you think is repugnant BUT IT'S WOMEN so they get a pass. Let's just exempt them for all the laws. That's what you real want. Not laws or rules for women and then men just do whatever without ever getting anything in return."
