I keep seeing people COMPLETELY misunderstand the phrase "social construct", so im going to explain it as simply as I possibly can:
"Social construct" by definition means: an idea that has been created and accepted by the people in a society.
What does this mean? Almost everything that makes a society IS a social construct. Language? Social construct. Money? Social construct. I could go on but hopefully you get the point.
Social constructs are NOT MEANINGLESS!! They are a foundation to society, theyre important!! They help us understand ourselves, others, and the society we live in! When someone says something (like gender) is a social construct, they arent saying "oh well this is fake and doesnt matter at all" theyre saying "its not a scientific fact, and acting like it is would be detrimental to the entire concept in the first place".
Anyways sorry for the rant but im tired.
