I’m not blaming them I am saying they still often make a decision. They are humans who have some control of their lives. That’s not mutually exclusive with saying they are also pressured externally.

The way they were originally described made it sound like they are just pieces on a board incapable of deciding what they want and acting on it.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say anymore. What's the point you're trying to make here?

Yeah and nobody is saying they don't have agency. You're preaching to... no one?

Plenty of people seem to agree with me so the dismissive attitude is not warranted.
