I'm not talking (exclusively) about someone being arrested for doing something to you. I'm talking about someone being arrested for anything.

Other people decided what they have to tolerate re people doing something to their body nonconsensually, right?

And? Again, why do I care (unless something cruel or unusual is being done to them)? What things are you seeing as out of line?

The reason you'd presumably care is that the reasoning you presented is that insofar as anyone is doing anything to anyone else's body, restricting it, or subjecting it to anything, etc., you said, "Who are they to decide?"
