I came across this piece on Scott Adam's blog and found it quite interesting. Thought others here might find it interesting too:

So if you are wondering how men become cold-blooded killers, it isn't religion that is doing it. If you put me in that situation, I can say with confidence I would sign up for suicide bomb duty. And I'm not even a believer. Men like hugging better than they like killing. But if you take away my access to hugging, I will probably start killing, just to feel something. I'm designed that way. I'm a normal boy. And I make no apology for it.
Now consider the controversy over the Syrian immigrants. The photos show mostly men of fighting age. No one cares about adult men, so a 1% chance of a hidden terrorist in the group – who might someday kill women and children – is unacceptable. I have twice blogged on the idea of siphoning out the women and small kids from the Caliphate and leaving millions of innocent adult men to suffer and die. I don't recall anyone complaining about leaving millions of innocent adult males to horrible suffering. In this country, any solution to a problem that involves killing millions of adult men is automatically on the table.
If you kill infidels, you will be rewarded with virgins in heaven. But if you kill your own leaders today – the ones holding the leash on your balls – you can have access to women tomorrow. And tomorrow is sooner.

I'm not a SJW, and I took exception to some of it, actually. For one thing he really seems to promulgate a feeling of men being entitled to sex.
I think the last half of your sentence gives the lie to the first part. I didn't see any sense of entitlement. Expectations are NOT the same of entitlement, in in general most humans can expect sex now and then.
His general tenant is
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Islam doesn’t look so dangerous in countries where women can vote.
Some of you guys seem to get side-tracked with the small supporting details that he provides, and loose site of the big picture.
His basic tenant is rather insightful. And his conclusion is equally insightful. It has nothing to do with pay equality.
The problem is that wherever Muslims become anything over X% (and X is arguably somewhere between 20% to 50%) women lose their rights to vote, and many other rights. If not legally, then by force of males. (Even in the US, many Muslim women vote exactly as their male relatives instruct them, or not at all. Its one of the major problems with Vote by Mail. It often becomes Vote by Male.)
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

That's 4 off the top of my head where the fact that women have held ministerial / leadership positions suggests your blanket statement is a load of shit.
Live free or fuck off and take your naïve Libertarian fantasies with you...
