It is interesting to me that Peter Thiel doesn't want to live / follow the same rules / laws he would have everyone else live under. Is it that he thinks himself better than the vast majority of us?

Yes? Thiel is one of the major pusher / backer of “dark enlightenment” type theories and efforts. Neo-feudalism is his goal, or at least one if his goals.
He said this which shows he doesn't care for women having the right to vote. He funds anti-abortion, anti-birth control, anti-gay politicians regularly.
"The 1920s were the last decade in American history during which one could be genuinely optimistic about politics. Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of "capitalist democracy" into an oxymoron."

I think you are adding a statement to the quote that isn't there. He didn't say that women shouldn't be able to vote. He said the chance of a libertarian government died when they got the vote.
Seems like you think that anyone who has other political priorities is actively against these things. I don't think that Theil is anti-gay ect, he is just willing to compromise on those values.
He actively now pushes for a libertarian style government so it isn't much of a stretch to think he doesn't want women to vote. And yes I think someone who uses there power and political connections to exempt themselves from the things those they fund wish to do to others aren't decent people.
If I had a couple billion dollars Id probably think I was better than the vast majority of people. Lets be honest though the vast majority of people are morons, I cite the last two years as evidence. Its not hard to be better than that.
