And I have already refuted the voluntaryist argument more times than I can count. The fact that a relationship is "voluntary" does not make it moral, and it does not exclude control. If you believe control magically disappears because you "agreed to it," then you are simply refusing to see reality. I would post a reply to this, but I'm afraid there's not much more to say than that. I must have touched a nerve to make you openly, willfully denying reality (talking about hierarchies tends to do that, because they are ingrained in our lives and people defend them out of pure brainwashing). You are hopelessly naive.
