Firstly, what has white farmers and them lynching black people have anything to do if me as a white male in this modern day is privileged or is to blame for the wrong doings from others?
Like all Elites throughout history - kings, priests, corporate executives, politicians, market manipulators, etc. - the ruling class is too small to keep a grasp on their power without using the working class as surrogates. The plantation owners of the 1860s pandered to the poor white scratch farmer by convincing him that he was "better" than blacks and by scaring him as well. The major theme of the 1850s was that black men were bent on raping white women, so white men were exhorted to protect "the honor of their women." Just an interesting cultural aside, and you shouldn't dwell on it much, one of the major criticisms of the move King Kong was its racist message that a powerful dark force was coming after the dainty, pure white woman. Prior to the Civil war in my country, prior to any war, propaganda is aimed at enraging the mass of men who will die on the battle field. Puppets in arms. White middle class men are conned into believing they have an interest in protecting the property of the Elites.
Look around you. In the management classes the majority of power slots are filled by white men, not only in commerce but in education, politics, justice, hospital administration, and so on, women have very little influence. Some men are well rewarded for shielding the Elites and some not so much so; they simply have their daily drudge job and their sports and taverns where they can gather and grumble and rail at the inferior classes - people of color. In every english speaking and spanish speaking nation there is a hierarchy of color. White skinned, wealth hoarders are at the top of the pile. Dark skinned indigenous people are at the bottom. They are at the bottom to serve a purpose of keeping the middle feeling superior and believing they have something vested in protecting the wealthy. This is also the role of women. They are traditionally inferior and need to be protected. This is how middle class white men, well mostly the working labor class, are recruited to be cannon fodder in the wars of wealth protection. Every time a woman or a man of color rises up to challenge the Elite regime they are smacked down for their audacity. I could give you a list but then you would only focus on the names who have already been placed in the "evil" column and the distraction would give you an excuse to ignore the main point of my argument. But one prime example: when Dr. MLK Jr turned his attention from the civil rights movement to the madness of war in Vietnam the FBI planted derogatory stories about him to pull him back down.
As long as working class, hard hats have someone to consider inferior they will do the bloody, bullying work of the Elite classes. That's how your assault on feminism ties in with the assault of white dirt farmers against black men back in the middle of the 19th Century. I hope I have made the point clear to you. If not, feel free to ask any questions you wish. But I think your anti-feminism is right out of the racist playbook. The puppets will only protect the Elites if they think they have some skin in the game; they will only believe they have some skin in the game if there is an inferior class.
