Having a shit is a natural process, however doing it privately in toilets is nowadays somewhat of a social construct.
So, should I stop using the toilet and use your bed instead?
(Edit: I didn't think I needed to add an /s but...)
- Not accepting every social construct isn't the same as rejecting every social construct.
  
  You could've just said, "please shit in my bed."
  
  This is a counter, specifically, to " because it is a social construct, therefore I won't do it."
  
  It's more nuanced. It's 'this is a social construct, therefore I can just decide whether I want to accept it, and I dont'
  
  Except in this example, it's a kid using the argument to get out of "anything and everything". This isn't a necessarily a nuanced situation, this is using their own logic against them because they think they found a cheat code to not doing what they don't want to do.
  
  Ah fair! I wasn't super clear, I was more talking about my comment than the original post.
- Nah, use the designated shitting street just like everyone else
- With the added /s it still reads like you're using an example to explain why things shouldn't be rejected based on them being social constructs. The edit just reads like you're smug about it. If that's not what you're saying, can you explain what you mean?
  
  can you explain what you mean?
  Yes.
- Don't tell that to your kid unless you want them to start pooping in your bed.
  
  Ha, I've had that happen when our kids were little yet didn't think of that at all. Thanks for making me laugh and bringing back the nightmare of the midnight pooper 🤣
