Nothing I say above has to do with the masses in anyway what so ever, not sure where you are getting that from.
Also as has been cleared up the by the OP on this issue, we are not talking pure cultural elites.
Obviously half the population being denied the vote is due to the agency of Elites, and the dissemination of their "understanding" of humanity from the top down.
Even if pure "cultural" elites
of the time did not directly contribute to that situation it would be one the vast majority agreed with.
Half the population not being able to vote is not something that is possible if Cultural/Elites are collectively opposed to it.
Of course there will be individual examples of those opposed.
Its also important to also remember the corollary of the unknown cultural figure in their time going onto be viewed as "elite" in another time, which is the elite in their own time who is totally forgotten in other times, this example is far more numerous.
