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?"

No, I said who are they to decide in the context of touching me or striking me. Not in the context of consequences for doing something to someone else.
