[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My own 14 yo child pointed out to me that nobody challenges all the other social constructs such as time, money, or race. Why is gender so different?[/quote]

Not sure that time, money, and race are "social constructs."  [/quote]

Chromosomes are not social constructs.  Time is not a social construct.  Race is not a social construct.  Money is a means of exchange established by governments.

Sounds like the PP's 14 year old needs additional education, or if s/he believes that these things are social constructs, then s/he has received a poor and highly-biased education.[/quote]
Race actually is a social construct. There is very little genetic basis for it.[/quote]

Except when DNA evidence is involved in court.

Several prescription medications bear FDA-approved, race-specific labels that suggest certain racial or ethnic groups should receive lower doses or may be at greater risk of side effects. And guidelines to physicians, which are endorsed by professional societies, sometimes recommend prescribing certain drugs differently based on race or ethnicity.

Race-based labels exist for drugs to treat heart disease, various cancers, epilepsy, tuberculosis and other diseases because different groups metabolize differently. This is actually a problem when performing drug efficacy studies because not all racial groups are tested due to aversions from historical testing.[/quote]
