While I 100% agree that one of the main battles to be fought is for people to have the freedom to do what they want, that also means that people are open to hear the negative sides of what they choose. You want to show your ass to the world to get fake internet points in a sad attempt to get validation? Fucking go for it, why would I stop you? But you better believe I'd be pissed if my future daughter did that and I will voice my opinion about it.
One of the worst things to happen to society is taking away the ability to shame people. Fat shaming? Too politically incorrect. Slut shaming? Too politically incorrect. Shaming (not bullying) is the way society has kept each other in check forever.
My sister was going down a path of one night stands in high school and I had my friends make fun of me for having a sister like that. I shamed the fuck out of her for her behavior. She ended up quitting that behavior, got married young, and has some beautiful children now. If I didn't shame her into feeling guilty for random hookups, maybe her path would be different, I'm not sure.
Long story short, do whatever you want, that is your right and no one should stop you. But society and people have the right to judge and shame you for what they believe to be inappropriate behavior.

Fair enough!
