Absolutely correct. But there's always a chunk of people who want to be in the Gestapo, or have someone to report their neighbours to.
My use of "isolated incidents" was ironic in that's the phrase always used to cover systematic problems that people don't want to address. You can have a lot of isolated incidents if you refuse to join the dots.
Dragging a teenager off to a prison camp for looking at boys is the tip of patriarchy, but the entire infrastructure of people who thought it was OK is also patriarchy.
