I don’t know how else to tell y’all that the difference between “X is a social construct” and “X isn’t real” is very, very, very, very important!
Money is a social construct. Laws are a social construct. Prison is a social construct. All are very real, as you will find out if you ever rob a bank.
What “X is a social construct” means: this concept is something created and reinforced by our society, and therefore it isn’t necessarily a fundamental or natural truth of existence, and we should be able to modify, expand, or eliminate said construct if it does harm or doesn’t accurately represent or help the people living in said society.
What “X is a social construct” doesn’t mean: we made this thing up so it is totally meaningless and has absolutely no consequences.
