The individual items are designed to sound reasonable, and often they are the kind of thing a caring person might say once. What matters is what the whole set does over time, which is to shrink where you can go, who you can speak to, what you can reach and what you can decide. That shrinking is the harm itself. It does not need to become violent to have already taken something from you, and following the rules is not weakness, it is what a person does when refusing has a cost.
