historical dumbfounding

The tendency to assume that because something is old, it never existed.
The tendency to believe that just because something happened a long time ago, it is rendered invalid.
The inability to realize that the age of an event does not negate its authenticity.
The inability to realize that just because something is not happening now does not mean it never happened.

1. Izzy was a victim of historical dumbfounding. Izzy hated reading history books because it all just happened too long ago.

2. Jim often found himself subject to historical dumbfounding. He couldn't believe that people existed before him that thought the same thing he did.

3. Alexandria was constantly in a state of historical dumbfounding. Alexandria didn't believe the fact that nearly 38 million people died of starvation and overwork in the Great Leap Forward, which lasted four years. It happened too long ago.

historical dialecticity

The thesis that history is a struggle between people who believe in power and people who don't believe in power.

Historical dialecticity is a logical conclusion of historical materialism: that history is a struggle between agents of heirarchy and equality.

Historically Women's College

Abbreviated as HWC. A term coined to reflect the changing environments of many colleges and universities that either formerly or currently only accept cisgender women. Referring to something as an HWC can either mean that it's now co-ed, that their policies regarding gender non-conforming and nonbinary individuals are more relaxed, or as a way to recognize the fact that not everyone who attends a college branded as "a women's college" is necessarily a woman.

Students attending a Historically Women's College often end up owning multiple pairs of sandals.
Hollins is by far the best Historically Women's College!
