    Something being a social construct doesn’t mean it’s not real, or ignoring it won’t negatively affect you.

    Laws, money, etc. are all social constructs.

      And, while it’s good to challenge dumb social constructs, you should pick your battles. Nobody can fight all dumb social constructs at the same time. Is wearing socks really where you want to focus your energy?
