This is an example of prevalent ignorance. Health, safety and well-being take precedence over personal rights. There is a point where you legally lose your right to make decisions for yourself. There is a point where family becomes legally obligated to care for family. Both parties can be forced to comply. Going about your day with soiled clothing is a sign of mental illness. In most cases it is not a matter of taste, style or preference.
