Nomimalism is this idea that objects have no distinct essences. For example, a nominalist would say that "apple" is just an arbitrary human idea we use to describe some objects, and a physical thing we call an apple is just an arbitrary collection of particles that shares no universal essence with other things that we also arbitrarily call apples.
With this presupposition in place, you can see why people in the modern age always call everything a "social construct" and say, for example, that gender isn't real and nonsense like that.
It is a total lie. An apple has a distinct essense, "appleness" as it were, that all other apples also share. These universals are real and exist quite literally as part of the Logoi, the energies of Christ the Logos, the second Person of the Trinity.
Are you familiar with Platonic Forms? It is sort of like that but within a Christian framework.

Orthodoxy has Plato's Forms as part of the Logos. The Forms exist in the Logos, the Son of God.

Because you are not used to hearing the truth stated so plainly and bluntly and without a hint of apology. Such honesty is not kosher and not acceptable to the 21st century cult of globohomo.
