My first alarm bells about what I term new, new atheism began going off several years ago when the phenomenon of atheist social sites began surging in popularity.

Belief may be the death of intellect for the armchair philosopher, but for the realist, it is popularity, and populism, that does the real damage. And having experienced the heartbreak of watching some of these sites from point of inception, where they were amazing hotbeds of dissident discourse amongst some of the brightest on the ‘net, slowly degrade, as the masses arrived, into a toxic miasma of faux moralism, ideological axe grinding, Gollum inspired “don’t be a dick” censorship and witch hunting, it is difficult to not succumb to despair.

– The submissive male agrees he does not have any rights, is always wrong and may be punished at any time by his Mistress for no other reason than the pleasure she receives in his suffering.
– The male slave does not speak unless ordered to do so by his Mistress.
– With each question asked by the male slave, the Mistress administers punishment. Male slaves are inferior and always wrong. Males do not have the right to question their Mistress.

– The slave is to be efficient in his service to the Mistress and must kneel and thank her for the privilege of serving Her.
– The male slave further understands and agrees that he is nothing more than chattel.  A piece of property owned by his Mistress and may be loaned, rented, or sold to any other Females at any time, or disposed of as his Mistress deems necessary.
