Topic: Social Justice Warriors of Minichan: if inequality is a social/cultural construct

Anonymous A started this discussion 11 years ago #43,683

...does it not automatically follow that equality is also an artifice, and therefore as invalid as any other construct?

I have no idea what you are trying to say. You should probably kill yourself, just to be safe.

Example: social caste is a culturally relative construct, as there is no biological evidence that members of one caste are inherently inferior/superior to another. Ergo, people of all castes must be equal.

However, isn't our concept of equality also a culturally relative construct?

@OP
What, in your eyes, makes social constructs illegitimate? Speech is just a social construct, you know.

The only reality they have is the reality we give them. That reality is mediated by speech, which, as you point out, is a construct in itself.

Why should we assume that the reality accorded to one construct is more valid than the one accorded to another?

@previous (C)
Why not? Elaborate.

So, there is no such thing as true equality or inequality.
