[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sex is not a social construction. Gender is. Similarly, age is not a social construction, but youth/middle-age/old age etc. are. That's why we have sayings like "you're only as old as you feel" or "youth is wasted on the young" or "50 is the new 40" or "if you're 55 or better..." [/quote] This. Age group/stages of life are social constructs. You can identify as any age group you please, and people do. There's a helluva difference between a 50 year old dying of COPD and a 50 year old training for their 11th triathlon. [/quote]
