He notes that <a href="/wiki/Robert_Nozick" title="Robert Nozick">Robert Nozick</a> agrees with him, and critiques the views of the libertarians who disagree.

He claims this is the case since the secretary "agrees to all aspects of the job when she agrees to accept the job and especially when she agrees to keep the job". He calls this a "package-deal". He further differentiates this from acts taking place in public areas as they are not privately owned and therefore there can be no agreement to what he calls the "package-deal", and since the pincher isn't the private owner. He argues that "if pinching and sexual molestation are outlawed in private places, this violates the rights of those who voluntarily wish to engage in such practice." Block argues that the proof of the "voluntary" nature of such an act in a private place is that "the person endangered" (the victim woman) "has no claim [right] whatsoever to the private place in question [...] If she continues to patronize or work at a place where she is molested, it can only be voluntary."<sup id="cite_ref-women_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-women-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Highway_privatization">Highway privatization</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Walter_Block&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Highway privatization"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951" /><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Highway_privatization" class="mw-redirect" title="Highway privatization">Highway privatization</a> and <a href="/wiki/Free-market_roads" title="Free-market roads">Free-market roads</a></div> <p>Block says government management of roads and highways is not only inefficient, but also deadly.

"It may well be that speed and alcohol are deleterious to safe driving; but it is the road manager's task to ascertain that the proper standards are maintained with regard to these aspects of safety.
