Title:  ‘What can(not) social norms do?’

Abstract: In this (very) exploratory paper I investigate the relationship between social normativity and other domains of normativity. I suggest that given a metaphysically productive relationship between pernicious social norms and ideological social construction, pernicious social norms can create ontologically oppressive kinds, and consequently this can mar some seemingly valuable features of epistemic normativity and prudential normativity. Given this picture, I argue that this gives feminist metaphysicians reason to embrace more objectivist conceptions of moral normativity.
