No, this is a very bad frame of analysis.
Settler-colonialism is absolutely still a massive issue. It isn't a thing of the past.
The patriarchial structure of society still oppresses men and women everywhere.
You're erasing very real issues, strawmanning what people believe, and plugging your ears. This is the "I don't see color" problem, that's you ignoring systemic problems, not getting rid of them!
What your tactic would result in is a large portion of women, ethnic minorities, and queer folk being further alienated just to potentially win more white men, but that wouldn't happen either. Focus on liberation along all lines, economic, social, and more, and allow these coalitions to strengthen our position. You're furthering division by shutting down the voices of oppressed peoples, strawmanning what they say, just because its uncomfortable for you to hear.
