I don't see how that follows. From studies of the demographics of Occupiers I've seen, the movement has attracted the relatively less successful members of the white upper classes, graduates from elite universities and such who haven't found their places in life yet. Nothing about the whole Occupy fad signals notable intelligence or competence to me.
I could see that this disaffected White Men's March would fold any way given how male psychology works. Gather a bunch of young losers together, and the men with more organized lives will naturally mock them, like the ones at the Chicago Board of Trade who posted signs on their windows, "We Are the 1 Percent." Young men HATE public humiliation by more dominant men.
