Should deconstructionism be tolerated?

Yes, Critical Theory should be fought in all of its forms.

Do you understand that you can stand in the breach there based on who you are and what you believe? I can see it but I can't really fight it. The ones knocked off can't see it or fight it.

I wish I as more articulate. I'm not.

What some do is attack attack attack. They attack marriage

I dislike the way you use the word 'attack', but yes.

People fought to see that women were not treated as property in marriages.
People fought to see the interracial marriages became legal.
People fought to see that same-sex marriages became legal.

I don't see these as attacks, but as expansions of liberty, with no harm (attack) done.

Should society tolerate such attacks or should it fight back?

How do you want to 'fight' against these non-attacks?

I think that you need to read Grassroots Post-Modernism: Remaking the Soil of Cultures, by Gustavo Esteva and Madhu Suri Prakash, and hear the stories of people who have--some for as many as five centuries--lived under conquest and domination by outsiders but in spite of that have kept their cultures and identities intact.

I read the 1998 edition. I do not know what the newer edition is like.

If society would not "tolerate" such "attacks", then we'ld still be living in caves, fighting over fire.

Every major "change", socially or technologically or otherwise, came about through the kind of things that you are describing here as an "attack".

This is why I study the FreeMasons, mostly the upper levels, and their Gematria/signs/symbols. One of their mottoes is "Order Through Chaos" which explains the tearing down, then re-organization of things, procedures, etc just like after 9/11.
