There is a weaker version of the intentionality condition, according to which (valid) consent at least requires that one not intend not to consent. Doesn't one forgo their right to consent when they intentionally perform a wrongful action. A related idea is that punishment would not violate an offender’s rights even if he explicitly refuses to consent.

writing about the dangers we face in the Lifestyle.
Keep in mind that BDSM is not a "lifestyle" it is a sexual behavior.
According to Psychology Today, people involved in BDSM have, on average, lower levels of PTSD than the general population. On the other hand, there are some people who report practicing BDSM as a way of working through their past trauma.

the Dominant of today needs to have empathy in their skill set.
Empathy is not a "skill set" it is a virtue.

Your blog failed to suggest the most obvious and safest solution. If you're active with groups an different people regularly require everyone provide a negative recent test result.

One mistake many people make when first entering the lifestyle, is relying on one person to show them the way or one book or one website.
Knowledge is an illusion . . Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you want to become. Everything else, is secondary.

By using the silent treatment, the Dominant is cutting off all support for the submissive.
Time out is a very effective discipline for and submissives. It is also one of the 16 BDSM punishments. Disciplining a submissive isn't manipulation, it is training their mind and their spirit to follow the way of the dynamic they have chosen. Sometimes the least painful punishment is the most effective. Particularly when dealing with a submissive with a high pain tolerance that thrives on pain. A set amount of time out can be very impactful in teaching a lesson.

A Dominant can’t just say, “Do as I say. I make the rules. You obey.”
Actually ron, they can. Your rules end at your front door. We are all adults here. There is a distinction to be made between whether there is a right to do something and whether it is right to do it. Following others "rules" ends at age eighteen and get even wider at age 21. There is no right or wrong . . just consequences. Except, of course for laws.

His disclosure failures are a breach of ethics, not an abuse of power. Not excusing himself from hearings on Jan. 6th while his wife was a person of interest in the investigation. Thomas' ethical failings shift to illegal behavior when evidence of his intent to deceive the pubic for more than 13 years.
