yeah, I know relativism is close to constructivism, but... I guess I feel like relativism doesn't take any construction into account, it just says that "it is because it is", because "that's just the way God made me", and I guess it's that sort of... essentialist outlook that I object to. At least relativism in political science, anyway.
And yes, your position against relativism is why most people (incl. my mother) object to relativism.
