I keep wondering when the cryonics community will attract the attention of female social justice warriors (SJW’s) because of the perception that wealthy white guys dominate cryonics, even though plenty of middle class men have signed up for cryopreservation as well by using life insurance as the funding mechanism. The stereotype should push the SJW’s buttons about inequality, patriarchy and the lack of diversity.
Instead these sorts of women have ignored cryonics so far instead of trying to meddle with it to transform it according to their standards of “social justice.” If anything, cryonics acts like “female Kryptonite.”
I’ve also noticed the absence of another sort of women, namely adventuresses. If people believe that lonely white guys with money sign up for cryonics, you would expect to see more young, reasonably attractive women showing up at public gatherings of cryonicists to try to find men they can exploit for a share of the wealth.
So what kind of tipping point in the public’s view of cryonics would have to happen to make SJW’s and adventuresses notice cryonics as a field for social activism or financial exploitation?
In general if your beliefs lead you to expect something that doesn’t happen, it’s time to question your beliefs. Reality isn’t wrong. Beliefs must pay rent.

Wow. And a million times, wow.
One must really, really, very deeply hate women for that to be the expectation that comes to mind.

When it reaches the point that most of them have heard of it. I know we’ve had at least one SJW come by and rant about how talking about cryonics reflected white privilege.

I think you’d get replies if you didn’t pepper it so much with needless political tribal signaling. We get it; you read Steve Sailer.
The way you wrote the question is horrible, but here are some things to consider:
most people haven’t heard about cryonics;
most of those who heard about it believe it doesn’t work;
there are many things way more expensive than cryonics.
Wow. And a million times, wow.

You don’t see many men in yoga classes either.
