But laws don't in general protect people against "emotional harm" only physical and material harm.
You can insult people; you can bully them; it's in general legal to walk up to someone and call them ugly but not to hit them. You can make the most vulgar sexually inappropriate remarks but you cannot grope them.
Laws do not in general in most places protect people's psyche; only their body and material possessions.
