@attemptedsoc: this is NOT to say that gender socialization must be normative or be the primary informant of one’s identity. this is a tiktok on the hyper-conventional gender internalization process. there are MAAAAANY social constructs that form who we are—but gender, class, and race are broadly understood to be a massively influential trio. please assume nuance in this conversation 😭 also please don’t get transphοbic in the comments #educational #medialiteracy #sociology #videoessay #behavior
gender is a social construct, there is nothing essential to manhood or womanhood

is bio-essentialism drawn from biological determinism?

My freshman year of college my history professor said that the biggest “lie” in the world is the one of money. It doesn’t hold any inherit value but because we all agree that it does, it gains that value through the all of us. Idk I thought it was cool. Great vid

Materialism actually settles the argument between essentialism and anti-essentialism. Everything in the world is conditioned by its material reality, nothing is stable, definitions, despite their fluid nature in anti-essentialism, don’t themselves exist either in a metaphysical sense. Definitions, classifications, and judgements are mere extrapolations of our thoughts on to the world in order to understand it in a way that benefits us and our interests, which themselves are wholly determined by our material reality. At the microscopic level, this also applies to the distinction between the object and its environment, which exist conditioning each other in constant flux.

woah saying that truth is a social construct is kinda controversial. same goes with morals, it is not fully agreed upon that if humans dissapeared that morals go as well

I'm a little confused, I'm not sure I understood the point of the video. It seems like it's about un-buzzwording the term bioessentialism, implying that people use it without fully understanding it. Maybe I just haven't been on the same side of the Internet but it seems to me that people are using correctly, in the same way that you described it

As an autistic person who can't always stand long, detailed video-essays like this: Your script and pace is wonderful and really helped me take in everything you said.
