@BS3Alex@AdlucemSophia@scottygb Yes, but imagine height, some are short, some are tall, most are average. It becomes a problem when furniture, clothes, buildings are all aimed at average height people. It makes life harder for the folks at either end of the scale.
@beckytaylorgill You can put together a good argument for type II being a ‘social construct’ as it’s caused by having access to way more sugar than our ancestors did
@scottygb More like certain neurotypes find it easier to navigate a society designed with them in mind, in the same way being a wheelchair user is not a problem if society provides accessibility aids.
@RITB_ The problem with saying ‘social construct’ is the way in which it is applied.
Being a wheelchair user only becomes a problem when society does not provide accessible buildings, so does that mean it’s a social construct?
@CurtisDaly_ The politics UK post specifies a 16 year old on minimum wage doing part time work-12 hours a week.
So it’s better than a Saturday job?
Notice they don’t compare it to how much MPs earn (plus expenses for duck islands and warming their stables)
