Society is a social construct. That’s not even an argument.

Bro that’s just a Canadian donut. Is this like Canadian bacon? Where you say it’s bacon but it’s actually ham? Cause you’re saying it’s a croissant but it looks like a donut

Society is a construct built be the socialization of humans as a way to coexist. It is therefore a social construct. And I’m super bored with the “it’s a social construct” as if it settles the debate. Yes everything we do that is related to human civilization/socialization is related to “society” whether it’s tradition, culture, religion, communication, trade, even science.
All of it has been “constructed” as a way to progress us as a species past just animals roaming the savannah fucking, fighting, eating, and dying. So pointing out that something is a “social construct” as it relates to human socialization in the modern world is like pointing out that liquid water is wet or the sky is blue. So what? Partying is a social construct, graduation is a social construct, a promotion is a social construct, a marriage (in the romantic, not the religious sense) is a social construct.
Are you saying that by the very nature of something being a social construct, it is inherently bad? If so, that means that even the social constructs you enjoy must be destroyed and done away with. Or are you simply saying that a social construct is something that can be changed/removed? This argument would make a lot more sense, but that’s not how you presented it. And if you feel that a “social construct” is something that can be changed/removed and in this case you feel it should be, then present your argument on why that should be the case.
