When liberals hear โ€œsocially constructedโ€ I think they hear โ€œchangeable on a whimโ€ and โ€œreasonlessly capriciousโ€ whereas I understand how the entire weight of history and inculcation obstructs their easily-imagined alterations and rearrangements of a cultural imperative.

Relatedly, when liberals hear โ€œgeneticโ€ I think they imagine that anyone who says that means โ€œeugenics, exterminate all the undesirables immediatelyโ€ and they also have some sort of idea that anything genetic is ever-ineluctable and cannot be altered by any means at all.

In reality, itโ€™s probably easier to mitigate, alter, or re-direct most genetic human tendencies (though not all) while itโ€™s much harder to change culture.

As usual, they have everything exactly backwards.
