If people don't like social constructs, go build a shack in wilderness and don't ever make contact with other human beings again. That isn't to say there are things we do for tradition, or societal norms that constrain us in silly ways but "social construct" is not some get out of jail free excuse.

"Not accepting every social construct isn't the same as rejecting every social construct."

Also saying to go live in the wilderness alone to a child doesn't sound like the greatest idea
