Bodily autonomy, as it relates to the simple rule of not touching someone else without consent, is one of those things that lots of people agree with in theory, but everywhere I see people thinking there’s exceptions for different groups they view as lesser
Me: Respecting bodily autonomy means not touching people without their consent
People: try to hug children after they say no
Me: bodily autonomy applies to children
People: try to touch women to ‘guide’ them with their hand on the woman’s back
Me: bodily autonomy applies to women
People: try to touch Black women’s hair
Me: bodily autonomy applies to Black women
People: try to move disabled people in their chair or lift them up
Me: bodily autonomy applies to disabled people
People: use little people or dwarfs’ heads as arm rests as a ‘joke’
Me: bodily autonomy applies to little people
People: try to restrain children who are stimming
Me: bodily autonomy applies to autistic kids
People: try to touch strippers while they’re at work
Me: bodily autonomy applies to sex workers
People: literally cannot get this concept somehow
Me: bodily autonomy applies to EVERYONE. Everybody. Every body. If they have a body, they have bodily autonomy. Stop touching people without consent.
