< Suppose I have two kids, A and B. A wants to sit in her room
and read Chaucer; B wants to go out and party. Without asking
A and B what they want (it wouldn't matter to me anyway) I force
both to sit in their rooms and read Chaucer. Am I coercing B and
not coercing A? >

In the case of A, what force would you have to exert?  No coercion needed,
even if you could coerce her.
