    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

      Men women aren’t a social construct. Society structures around the biological facts of there being men and women or male and female, and what makes them different. Which is something that should be celebrated, not demonized.

        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.

            So, you think you live in a society where discrimination based on sex does not exist.

            Where is that, and what is your evidence for your claim?

              I don’t know what country you live in, but no here in the Netherlands it’s pretty equal. My evidence? I live here.

                  Does that matter? I said the west, the west in general is fairly well balanced in terms of rights or equality. Maybe it’s different in Italy specifically but considering trans men can sign up for miss universe contests, apparently it’s not so bad.

                    Bullshit.

                    You probably missed my edit. You didn’t give evidence for your position so I’ve asked you to refute evidence for mine, just to make it nice and simple for you.
