Absolutely.
A person has the right to do whatever they want.
-Until- it interferes with anothers expression of their wants.
Then everybody stops until a solution can be worked out.
There are two, and only two paths to -any- solution. Cooperation and
consent, or coercion.
If one believes in equality then -any- solution involving coercion is a
priori -wrong- and invokes further expressions of self-defence.
