“Freedom, in a political context, means freedom from government coercion. It does not mean freedom from the landlord, or freedom from the employer, or freedom from the laws of nature which do not provide men with automatic prosperity. It means freedom from the coercive power of the state—and nothing else..” (Ayn Rand)
(51) Philosophy: Would you agree that freedom means there should be no limits in any way? - Quora Monday, October 14, 2013 @ 1:41pm
When it comes to your freedom in relation to other individuals, it is commonly held, even by staunch libertarians, that you cannot do anything that would infringe on other people's ability to be free. You may not use force on them in any way (unless in self-defence). This becomes muddled when people claim to have freedoms that they do not, in fact, have. The right to not be offended is one such case.
Note that once you (freely) agree to a binding contract, you cannot back out of it claiming it infringes on your freedom.
