You don't understand what gender roles are and how they work.

We went through a list of over 100 major maritime disasters spanning three centuries to see if we could find data on survival rates of men and women. We ended up with data on 18 shipwrecks, involving 15,000 passengers. In contrast to the Titanic, we found that the survival rate for men is basically double that for women. We only have data on children for a limited number of shipwrecks, but it is evident that they have really bad survival prospects: just 15 per cent.

let's look at what happens in conservative societies with traditional gender roles when everybody is in danger

Since 2013, the demographic profile of asylum seekers in the EU-28, Norway and Switzerland has become slightly more male (67% in 2013, 71% in 2014 and 73% in 2015), with a steady share of asylum seekers arriving under 35 years of age (80% in 2013 and in 2014, 83% in 2015).

UNHCR has to fudge the language in order to cover for the large discrepancy between men and women refugees https://www.unhcr.org/women.html

In times of displacement, this problem escalates. Women and girls make up around 50 per cent of any refugee, internally displaced or stateless population

Internally displaced and stateless are not refugees. I can't actually find any study or concrete numbers on female refugees besides this quote here.

"Gender norms" never benefited women. And this whole thing with chivalry and sacrifice or whatever you're talking about only existed in novels and for people who have a golden image of the good old days.

I don't understand why you have to invent this whole story when you are contemporary with real societies where homosexuals are imprisoned or even executed.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-43822234 here's a list.

Then you do some research. Since all of those places have access to internet you can find people who will explain why they hate gays.

Specifically regarding Afghanistan, a couple days ago I made a post where I was wondering about the connection between the Taliban, who execute homosexuals and bacha bazi. If those abused boys grow up to become radicalized and join the Taliban then they probably don't make the distinction between pedophile who rapes boys and homosexual.

In fact here's an article which appeared in a reputable magazine about homosexuality in islam. Notice how it's actually about men taking boy lovers. https://thediplomat.com/2016/06/afghanistans-love-hate-relationship-with-homosexuality/
