This caught my eye as well. I would go even further and say that being so protective of others is infantilizing and disrespectful.

Assuming they are consenting and informed adults, they can take their own risks.

Assessing counterparty risk and making the choice for them overrides their desires and values, and imposes yours.

If there is one thing that I have learned in relationships, it is that you shouldn't attempt to control others in this way.
