White privilege, the patriarchy, the gender pay gap, toxic masculinity....

None of these actually exist and are easily debunked.

Hmm, well I personally think that at it's core, the concept of white privilege does exist. However, it's not quite what the left wants to think it is. It's more of a majority privilege, or favor of familiarity.

i.e. in a country like Japan, with a 97+ percent race homogeneity, if looking to hire a person for a job, and are given to pick between a Japanese, a Philippine descent, and a German descent. Even assuming they all speak and were raised in Japan, they will gravitate to the Japanese. Are they racist? No, they just naturally are attracted to the one most similar to themselves.

In America, this is the same, except that in a melting pot country like it is, there is conscious effort to try to have multicultural experience. The way to combat this "white" privilege is to enforce that people are at their most different in physical shape alone. However, we strangely are getting to a point were progressive thought is to actively segregate and promote differences. For example when black people say things like "Black Panther/R&B/whatever is for black people", or crack jokes at "typical white behavior" it creates a subconscious divide.

So in that way, I think white privilege does exist, in a way.

Also, patriarchy is absolutely a real thing. There are multiple historical examples of male dominance in a society. However, I think in modern times it is at its weakest and most fractured, and really is so outdated that it is the least of our societies problems.
