You are the one claiming that society makes rules and creates or defines a "concept" of rights. By YOUR definition, society didn't exist until it could make and enforce such rules. This requires some form of government.
If you and I were on an island together, you'd have absolutely no authority to make rules about how I do things, what medicines I take, etc. unless I physically harmed or endangered you. Then you would be justified in using defensive force against me.
Because you don't have any right to tell me whom I may marry, what foods or medicines I may take, etc., neither do 10 of you or 10 million of you or 10 billion of you calling yourself "society" or "government".
