Definitionsmacht
beschreibt das Potential zu einer der umfassendsten und zugleich subtilsten Formen der Einflussnahme. Gemäß konstruktivistischem Theorieansatz wird soziale, gesellschaftliche und kulturelle Wirklichkeit geschaffen, indem sie im Diskurs ausgehandelt wird. In der konstruktivistischen Analyse wird Definitionsmacht den Subjekten zugeschrieben, welche mit ihren Ansichten diese diskursiven Konstruktionen nachhaltig beeinflussen oder gar dominieren. Im Kontext feministischer Debatten wird unter „Definitionsmacht“ das Recht von Betroffenen sexualisierter Gewalt verstanden, zu definieren, was sexualisierte Gewalt ist.

definatory power (authority)
because it is about defining something and not the influence of power, I am not happy with definition of power
Granted, you won't find many hits for definatory power but I believe it correctly denotes the concept.
or:
the power/authority to define
http://www.library.cornell.edu/colldev/mideast/algwomn.htm
The discursive context is also a part of the structuring elements which surround women. It is obviously very fluid in a number of ways, a part of which is the fact that although women do not have definatory power they are included and participate in the discursive context.
