    Something being a social construct does not mean it has no real world effects. That’s kind of the point of identifying it as a social construct. HTH

        It’s still a social construct if it’s based on facts. Social construct doesn’t mean fake, it means we gave it a name and meaning.

        So you do think there is a patriarchy? And you think it is based on fact, not the social construction of gender?

          I think In society men and women formed a structure based on strengths and weaknesses. This is neither dominated by men or women, not the way you want to see it. Which is why I made an earlier comment to go to places where men DO dominate society on every level and treat women like 2nd rate humans. If you truly believe we here in the west live in that way as well, we got nothing left to talk about.
