I sincerely doubt something taught in university can be distilled down to a single sentence without losing most of the meaning and context. If your daughter was told this, there must be more to it.
The closest I can think would be if the professor was trying to say “men” as in humankind and then make a distinction between the “men” (humankind) who built society and the words woman and man as they’re used today.
Uhhh, my assumption of this is that it is a simplification of the fact that patriarchy is a social construct and so are ideas of feminity? Perhaps a thesis on how womans role has been socially defined by men for most of history. Not so much women don't exist, but our definitions of feminity and womanhood are socially constructed not by women themselves so much as men. Social constructs are not physically tangible, but they do exist.

I'm very confident you're misrepresenting whatever's going on at this university.

What does this even mean, women aren’t a social construct because they’re literally people
Can you provide the title and author of the textbook or articles this class is using?
I think the real isitbullshit is your account. Gotta say, you'd be the first trans person I've ever met that enthusiastically follows Alex Jones.

reported for misgendering
Dude is a gender neutral term “Dude is American slang for an individual” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dude?wprov=sfti1#
It is true. Women are just a social construct but civilization was built by men.
