The objection she issued is "Who are you to decide (what I can choose to do with my body or what I must tolerate)." That's what I've been addressing. So see my comment above and your answer above.

So in those cases, who are those people to decide? It's the same thing. She's not constantly asking "Who are you to decide" is she?

If you're talking about me (the she) who if not me is to decide what I will tolerate when it comes to my body? You can also decide for yourself.
I have no clue what your point even is.

Other people decide this all the time. You don't have a problem with it in most situations. You don't say, "Who are they do decide that I can't take my cell phone in to work/that I can't just ignore this red light/that I can't just bypass security and go to my plane, etc."
