To first order, the degree to which your humanity is acknowledged by societal consensus is almost perfectly modeled by the territorial extent through which you can move pretty freely. I think this is why I react so strongly against walls/borders.

right, but there's something beyond perception here in the degree to which (our) society enforces territoriality, so that in your framing women (and people of color, and disabled, immigrants, etc) have a kind of limited visa to public spaces. Not a strict binary

Yeah I get what you mean. Your face is your visa scoping your rights in public as well. That generalizes to everybody to some extent though. White men are not exempt when they travel in non-white countries, even if their prison is a restrictive halo.
