It's quite hard for me to see how this is an attempt to feel better? It does correspond to low vs. high openness or to N vs S in MBTI, among other things, but so what? Feminism and abolitionism are political claims that needed mass movements. Cryonics is a technology ready for adoption.

Cryonics is a technology ready for adoption.

Feminism was (and is) a set of behavioural patterns ready for adoption.

The difference doesn't seem that big to me.
