It is a core belief of most Americans that, as long as you are not hurting anyone else, you have the right to do whatever you want with your own property. If you buy a car, drive it home and destroy it with a baseball bat, you are acting completely within your rights, since you legally own that car and therefore have the right to do whatever you want with it, such as you perceive will make you happy. This sort of thinking leads to more serious errors like radical feminism and transgenderism, because it is based on the idea that things do not have natures and therefore do not have purposes, and that there are not ways in which men should act to become happy. Obviously, these are issues of a much grander scale, but the premise about property on which they are based is also fundamentally wrong, because it misunderstands the nature, and therefore the purpose, of property.
