People tend to forget that social constructs are very very real things that can have major material impacts on our lives. Those who don't understand this use “it's just a social construct” to dismiss the importance of certain concepts or abstract ideas. But most of human's reality is made out of social constructs.
For another very clear example, money is a social construct. But people live and die by the hands of it.
