This is epitomised in the modern western societies' law on 'consent', both sexual and bodily autonomy in the sense of consenting to surgery, anaesthesia etc. That is the context, which doesn't necessarily have an 'overall' objection, just in the terms of personal sovereignty and bodily autonomy. It is recognised by the UN as a human right in this regard.
"Someone to say" what you can or can't do, in any context, and including where they're saying just how you can move about, including where they're saying they can imprison you for certain things, etc., is about bodily autonomy, no?
