Wearing socks is a social construct
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
Borders are a social construct. Yet there are people killing each other about it.
Your company is a social construct. Yet it provides you with work and money.
Money is a social construct. Yet your kids still want their allowances.
If people don't like social constructs, go build a shack in wilderness and don't ever make contact with other human beings again. That isn't to say there are things we do for tradition, or societal norms that constrain us in silly ways but "social construct" is not some get out of jail free excuse.
"Not accepting every social construct isn't the same as rejecting every social construct."
Also saying to go live in the wilderness alone to a child doesn't sound like the greatest idea
Your mum is a social construct.
Social constructs are real.things, so here you go
Tell that kid that yes, everything is a social construct. But without social constructs he'd be dead. Wearing socks might be all that's keeping him alive.
