There are only 14 counties in the world that offer full legal rights to women. The US is not one of them.
Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands

I'm here to correct the #WorldBank: in 🇪🇸 Spain there is no “legal #gender parity”.
Some examples of discriminatory laws:
* Male heirs to the Crown are still given preference over female ones.
* Working mothers get €100/month for three years (including adopting mothers, so it's not about pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding). Working fathers are excluded, unless they are the sole guardians of the child.
* Increased retirement pension pay for mothers only (including adopting mothers, so it's not about pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding). Lesbian couples are both entitled. All males, including gay couples, excluded.
* The law against “gender violence” imposes harsher punishments for men, ceteris paribus. For instance, someone suspect of “coercion and threats” will be detained only if they are male. Fines and prison sentences are different, too.
* A number of institutions, programmes, subsidies and quotas for victims of domestic abuse are available for women only.
* Lower acceptance standards and dedicated quotas for women in many public examinations and public service positions.
There are [lots of laws like this at the national, regional and local level](https://diferenciaslegaleshombremujerenespana.law.blog/) [page in Spanish].
So: no, in #Spain #women are not “on an
equal legal standing with #men in all of the areas measured”.
