The religious doctrine that delineates that reward comes from a time in history when gender was all-determinative -- and women could not die as martyrs in that way.
Different Muslim traditions have granted women more or less equality -- but the ones that tend to still believe in that particular definition of martyrdom also tend to view women as unworthy of such rewards.

gives a whole new meaning to that old Beach Boys song "72 girls for every boy"
Are these virgins celestial beings that never had a life on earth (virgin angels)?
Do they appear (Poof!) whenever a muslim guy dies then just fade away to nothingness after they've lost their virginity? If not there are an aweful lot of freshly deflowered girls hanging around paradise with no hope of ever getting laid again since virgins vastly outnumber them and outnumber guys by at least a 72 to 1 ratio.
Personally, I don't get the allure. It's never been THAT important that I get laid. and I've never really been into enormous orgy scenes. I can't imagine the selling pitch:
"You know that body spray "axe"? well, this is BETTER. Paradise is a mucho horny place dude. and all you gotta do is blow yourself to smithereens."

i do no longer think of that's an offensive question, besides the certainty that i'm no longer Muslim, although that's a question that many human beings have interest approximately, through fact that's been noticeably publicized. I get excitement from the long rationalization of Muslim ideals. i think that ladies individuals are positioned right into a place of honor, quite than equality, yet through fact of that place of honor, there are bigger expectancies for them. It does make one ask your self why, if women individuals are so exalted, they are not given greater equality, released from the restrictive clothing and rules of habit, and taught to stroll beside a guy, no longer located upon a pedestal above him. the transformations in theory are interesting. needless to say, interior the Muslim faith, Heaven incorporates carnal pleasures. while, interior the Christian faith, Heaven seems to be some form of spectacular, gold-coated Eden, the place all carnal pleasures are left in the back of on earth and pastime is constrained to worship and harp-strumming. The Muslim angels could be having so plenty greater exciting than the Christian ones....and that's a comedian tale, so do no longer take offense. All of those transformations in ideals, Allah vs. Jesus vs. Buddha vs. Confucius, etc. etc., is massively confusing and that i'm undecided we does no longer all be greater useful off to easily forget approximately all of it and worship That guy interior the Sky, Whoever he's!

they seem to believe (I'm not a Muslim, but from what I understand) mainly that a woman's place is in the home and they shouldn't be in a place to get killed defending Islam...

I'm not a muslim
but I'd like to ask a question for all heaven-oriented religious
Do you honestly believe, that after you die, you go to a place of light and holy if you do good in your lifetime?

With all the suicide bombers I'd think Allah would be running out of virgins by now.

They then become one of the virgin rewards. First you blow yourself up, then you get screwed.
