Blank Selection

Blank Selection is a term instituted by Wendy Beach (Editor-in-Chief, Wild Whispers Poetry Magazine) to replace the common ableist “blind selection” label still in use (referring to anonymous editorial processes), and is retained as no alternative terminology currently exists. Blank Selection as a new term replaces the ableist “blind selection” practice, where judges assess poems without knowing poets’ names. The name consciously parallels blank verse’s liberation from formalist restrictions, extending this ethos to combat restrictive language in editorial processes.
The poetry competition had a blank selection process to keep it fair.

Selective Empathy

That counts as a citation.
Hym "Ultra-Omega Psychology Genius! That entire segment about selective empathy is downstream from my thing! How am I THIS GOOD at everything!? I have to have like 1 million citations at this point. Wait, is it 937 kills or is it 937 PhDs? Assists? No, that would suck. 937 isn't a lot of assists...So, it's gotta be PhDs. 937 PhDs! The single greatest psychologizer in the history of humanity!"

Selective reproduction

How is that not exactly what wpmen are doing with abortion? "UH DER WELL IT'S THIS NEBULOUS THING GUYS! IT'S NOT THE GUY! SHE'S JUST NOT READY FOR KIDS BECAUSE.... 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."
