Criticising the consequences of a patriarchal white supremacist sexist society isn’t the same as condemning white men as a whole.
When the vast majority eagerly participates in patriarchal white supremacy, that kind of takes the knees out from under your argument. Sounds a whole lot like that whole "#notallmen" horseshit to me.
