	The Power of Naming
		Some feminist theologians have re-analyzed this story to suggest that by being created from Adam's rib (ie: his side), the relationship between women and men are seen as more of a partnership than subordination - domination.
		Feminists are thus armed to confront the institutionalized and personalized expressions of male domination that affect their lives.
		Feminists realized that men have been (and continue to be) in positions to do the defining and therefore, women (and others who are oppressed) are immediately at a disadvantage exactly because the power to name has placed them there.

		Together, they make an eloquent and powerful argument that feminist politics cannot be separated from the broader project of constructing a more humanitarian and collective public sphere inside the shell of American political practice, hollowed out by a competitive, hyper-individualist and essentially negative vision of human freedom and social interaction.
