A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
社会
Social
I'm writing a review of three books on feminism and science, and it's about social constructionism. So I would say I'm a social constructionist, whatever that means.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
When you do have songs where you're going to say something, some kind of statement about cultural or social stuff, that in general people love it. People love to be challenged in that way.
