Precisely so! ...and it's been more than the past decade... More like the past
half century.
For example, read Valerie Solanis' _SCUM Manifesto_ which is still available
in print and in electronic format. The vilification of white males (aka,
misandry) makes the detention of Arab/Muslim terrorist suspects look quite
benign in comparison. For every white female in US prisons, there are twenty
white men in US prisons. Of course, this is due to genetic sex differences
which account for behavioral differences, but notice that feminazis deny sex
differences when it comes to putting females in postitions of leadership. I
think the war against white males has been motivated largely by jealousy and
envy... the same thing that motivated the 9-11 terrorists.

Thank you for pointing out these facts.
