Although they may think they can do whatever they like, it is still perfectly possible for the slave to stand up, and walk away.
Yes, that's true, but they usually don't. Why? Because MOST submissives/slaves are from abusive pasts and they fear if they are not completely compliant, then their dominant will leave them. And to them that's far worse than any abuse they could have meted out to them.

Some doms seem to believe that the space they take up in the world is more important than the space other people take up; it infuriates me!
I know way too many people like that, mostly online. Seems that a computer and a chat room makes a lot of people bolder, braver and more egotistical than they normally would be. People still don't get that just being yourself, even if you are a pathetic, sniveling wimp, is better than being something you're not. Because, eventually you're going to meet someone and then the truth is going to come out anyway.

Yay! Another rant. I'm getting good at this.
