Power comes with responsibility whereas control can relate in limited space to mere control of ones personal environment. Privacy seems to be connected with control.
Power would be an increase in space and should go with stewardship (khalifa) but this does not always occur which can be understood as evil. Epstein had power but did not exercise stewardship or as Sufi thought would phrase it: “putting things in their right place.”
It is by no means uncontroversial that the right space for young women is not the company of old white men.
