Hatesplaining
when someone from an elite victimized class explains to a member of a majority group how racist, sexist, homophobic, trans-phobic etc they are without any evidence of matching behavior or thought patterns to support their case. They often surround their accusation of bigotry with "weasle-words" like "subconscious", "passive" or "benevolent" to soften the blow of their "guilty-until-proven-innocent" stance. Disagreeing with a Hatesplainer is considered by them to be morally unacceptable, as they are generally incapable of tolerating any "diversity of thought".
These LGBTQIA+* people in some chat room are hatesplaining to me how racist, judgemental and hateful I am. I'm not oppressing anyone! They don't even know me! In their delusional world all white men are evil. Whatever happened to being judged by the content of your character?

TLDU
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
Me: Woah! TLDU!
