    Things that are social constructs can be modified with the social contract and should be modified to suit the will of the governed.

    Social constructs that operate without the approval of the membership seem to be bad constructs that should probably not be built that way.

      It’s really the exception for any aspect of reality to be operating with the approval of everyone affected. Things being socially constructed doesn’t mean they are less real, or that they are somehow easier to change. After all, “convincing people that they should think differently about some social construct” is just a clumsy definition of politics.
