"Sure socks are a social construct, but so are the things that let you eat ice cream, watch your favorite streaming service, or play your favorite video game. In fact the only non-social construct actions you involve yourself in are eating, sleeping, and expelling bio waste. Even those you seem to have no problem follow the social rules around. If you'd like to abandon society and escape into nature free of the bounds of social constructs, you're welcome to do that when you're 18 and can afford enough to buy a plane ticket to Fairbanks, Alaska. Until then, you have to put on your socks."

"You've made a correct observation, now please provide an argument why the social construct of x should not be adhered to. X is dumb and I don't wanna is not sufficient."

Socks keep your shoes from absorbing sweat and help prevent blisters. They’re useful beyond the social construct.

Very, good. That’s correct. However social constructs have consequences for non-adherence. As much as I agree with and wold like to support your stance, this is not something for which I’m willing to invest my energy or time to resolve.
Your compliance and the requirement from me, the adult, to you the child; yep, this sucks. When I’m no longer charged with your care and have completed my duty to prepare you to operate with the constructs of society, you may make this decision for yourself.
Until that time, you can put your socks on, or I will. Your choice. Love you.
In the other vein of this, I hate sock and shoes, so I’m pretty much good with skipping all of this. There are consequences that come with that decision too.

Nah, kinda the worst time really. Take a good look at society right now and one could argue we utterly failed and should reject it.

Some social constructs exist for a good reason. Part of growing is learning to tell which are good and which are bad.

Technically clothes are a social construct.

See, I dunno about that one. I have a very strange and almost primal urge to feed kids. I think it's generic programming.
