Any organization that concentrates power without over-site will become a haven for abuse.
It’s an interesting question whether the organization creates the abusers out of good people.
I think the aspects that relate to rules for thee but not for me are functions of a lack of over site and all people put in these positions will push boundaries to some degree. The make up of the individual determines how far and unethical it becomes.
When it comes to pedophiles and rapists I don’t think these power structures create them, they attract them instead. You see it in every place where there is easy access and little oversight. Church’s, coaching, Boy Scouts, sports, schools .
Where there is unquestioned respect for a position of authority people will move in and take advantage.
