CONFRONTING WHIG INTERPRETATIONS AT EVERY TURN IN ALL FIELDS

Dueling and multiple whig interpretations, often going back centuries....

Let's just dwell on Whig History here, bearing in mind that I could do the same sort of Whig enumeration for all areas of human endeavor, all of the social sciences, certainly.
 
They, the Whig histories, each have their own Whig interpretation of their slice of the past, seen through the eyes of their present, and always with their present respective ax to grind.
 
Just call it being Whigged Out.

I will mention only a few examples from a list that could be multiplied 10 or 20 times, easily:

Womens' History
Black History
Puerto Rican History
Left History
Right History
LGBT History
Economic History
Social History
Political History

Bear in mind that each of these Whig history categories has multiple whig subcategories, ad infinitum.
