As a Ph.D. (like me), you should know enough to avoid the toxic logical fallacy of over-generalization, which is the logical basis of ALL the bigotry, racism, and obsessive hatred that plagues our species. You could have avoided this toxic fallacy by the simple discipline of inserting “these” or “such” in front of every reference to “white men.” But since you did not bother to qualify your generalizations, I would simply remind you that the accident of birth that made me a male of European descent did NOT turn me into a murderous psychopath or a Trump cultist. The pathology you describe is rooted in culture, not genes or gender.
