Law in privacy Answer to the comments by Yanira Zúñiga, Juan Pablo Cox and Paula Vásquez

Abstract

This paper intends to be a dialogue with the various and persuasive comments by Yanira Zúñiga, Juan Pablo Cox and Paula Vásquez, about my book on private and family life. Frist, I refer to the convincing contribution by Zúñiga about Virginia Woolf, women’s private autonomy and the relevance of both a room of once own and economic independence. Cox focuses on sexual consent, which allows me to explore the concept of affirmative sexual consent vis a vis negative sexual consent. Finally, Vásquez poses various issues around women’s relational autonomy regarding reproductive issues, and alerts on the risks of the institutional answer a propose in my book, on which I propose further comments.
