Kay,

From where comes the whole idea that “because I can identify something and give it word name identifier, therefore I now have authority over it”??

This is so important for comps to really “get”. Authority is not something that can be claimed of one’s own will. It has to be given. Adam and Eve could not even claim the food they wanted to eat. They had to be given food, given the authority to eat. So where was Adam ever given the authority over the woman? He wasn’t. Taking authority that doesn’t belong to us is called _______. Anyone have a word to fill in the blank?
