What was your motivation to focus and fixate on that part of her speech?

I chose to respond - and not to "that part of her speech" per se, but to this guy's comment about that particular part of her speech.

My response can be seen here:

lol, it's not about what HE or other men think what "sucking dick" means, it's about what the original girl meant.

To which DS wrote:

irrelevant; overruled; continue.
Her point was never so much about "sucking dick" in the first place; you are listening as selective as dem bitches mayne ;P.

And the conversation that resulted was as follows:

If you insist so, then "her point" was never clear. That much is evident from all the differing opinions on what she "meant". The only way one could say that "sucking dick" definitely meant "be accommodating towards" is if that phrase is common slang. And if her point was never so much about sucking dick, then she shouldn't have mentioned it in the first place. If she didn't mean it, it's her fault for saying something she didn't mean.

Oh god, selective listening 2.0; her point was about bitches being annoying and controlling.

The next immediate post was made by you D.Rage, so I trust I don't need to repost that.

Going back to my motivation behind my responses:

1) My first response was in regards to the man in the youtube video talking about how he thought "sucking dick" didn't literally mean the act of putting a penis in your mouth and sucking it. My response commented that it is what the girl herself meant when she said talks about sucking dick, not how he or other people think it's a stand-in for something else.

2) My Second (and perhaps the following) comments were in response to DS's comment that it's "irrelevant", that it's " selective listening", because "her point was about bitches being annoying and controlling"

I believe the meaning of "selective listening" is something along the lines of "to (either voluntarily or involuntarily) choose to listen to various sections of a speech or conversation rather than digesting it as a whole". Feel free to correct or challenge that.

To say a certain section, part or phrase of the girl's speech was "irrelevant" because "her point was about bitches being annoying and controlling" - and then calling others out for "selectively listening" - Responding to that was the motivation behind my (latest) comments.
