For something to have power means no more than to say that it functions.
A homosexual or effeminate homo fairy does have power. He has the power to arrange flowers. A bird -- even a small sparrow -- has power to fly.
But if by a person's having power we mean raw physical strength or brute force, then we may also try to cripple our adversary's ability to speak, or his freedom of thought, or of expression.
