Left wing men and women as public property for all men

This is a couple of days old but I don't think it's been raised here.

The "organisers" of CHAZ in Seattle published details of their "conflict resolution advisory council" in a series of reddit posts that were screen captured and tweeted about:

After a series of edits that would have been too ridiculous for a Monty Python sketch, they get down to Edit 9:

Some women have expressed to us that they wouldn't feel comfortable presenting a case involving a sexual offence to a Council that is partly made up of criminals with a history of committing sexual offences. We are placing a cap of 50% on the proportion of Council members who have performed one or more premeditated sexual assaults or rapes in the preceding twelve months. Homelesspersons and disabledpersons are exempt from this cap.

So potentially all participants on the "council" could be rapists but would meet these requirements if they were homeless or disabled or committed the offence more than 12 months ago or it was not "premeditated".

I'm not sure I've seen such a blatant example of what Andrea Dworkin wrote about when she said:

"The difference between leftwing and rightwing when it comes to women is only about where exactly on our necks their boots should be placed. To right wing men, we are private property. To left wing men, we are public property. In either case, we are not considered to be humans: We are things."

I didn't see the creepy rape joke. Where is that?

I think I read another tweet that showed the CHAZ was segregated (specific area for Black / BAME people's tents). I don't think it was a parody but how are you supposed to tell?

Why anyone would think a freaking left wing zone in Seattle would not replicate the exact same power structures as outside the left wing zone in Seattle, given a couple of weeks, I do not know.

Sexists gonna be sexist on both sides of the border.
Racists gonna race-essentialize.
Power-hungry sleaze monsters gonna sleaze their way to the top.

Because for all the inflated claims, there is zero self-reflection, lots of grandiosity, and a more useful enemy outside the self to focus on.
