Should you consider "Not begging someone for something" denying them agency?
I mean, presumably, you would prefer your five year old not ask you for too much chocolate. But what if they say "But PARENT, if I DIDN'T beg you for too much chocolate, I would be denying you of your agency!"
Because I have both begged for things, not begged for things and been begged from, in all sorts of various circumstances. Possibly too many to list.
