A
benevolent
"...this is a term describing a chivalrous attitude that appears favourable towards women, but actually reinforces traditional gender roles and perpetuates gender stereotypes."
inkling
"As it turns out, Tahitians did have a private inkling of grief."
apathy
"The peril of silence is not a suffocation of ideas. It is to engender a state of blithe apathy in which no idea is formed"
vague
(shoeburyness: the vague uncomfortable feeling of sitting on a seat that is still radiating warmth from someone else’s bottom)
amorphous
"Nevertheless, the proliferation of neologisms can lend affirmation to unspoken moments of disquietude, to an amorphous cloud of restlessness in the modern world."

inchoate
"Every now and then, a new term will bubble up; a new concept will burst forth – to give meaning to walks of life previously starved of recognition, to instil life into our inchoate impulses, to tell the stories that need to be told."
presumption
Such comments reflect benevolent sexism because they sound like compliments, but carry presumptions of women as either the fragile damsel in need of protection or the default caretaker laden with household labour.
dispel
"Hypocognition was used as a form of social control, a wily tactic to expressly dispel unwanted concepts by never elaborating on them."
impoverished
"Rather than rebuking negative remarks and rewarding praises, the government blocks access to any related discussion altogether, rendering any conceptual understanding of politically sensitive information impoverished in the public consciousness"
