Around 3. Men and women are equal before the law, but the society itself generally retains a healthy, patriarchal attitude. The state does nothing to reverse it, as that would be seen as oppressive. If anything, government-aligned organisations conduct education campaigns aimed at promoting adherence to gender roles.

3. Women are traditionally equal to men but always in quiet roles. There's some violence and we need to still work on our law enforcement.

In short hand on the scale provided women in Imperial States America are around a .5-1.5 depending on what class of society your in or what race you are.

What kind of question is that we're all girls here.

The bunny girls are treated as my pets, though.

The nation of Seamus-Tropez roughly fits in category 4, when rounded to a whole number from 3.66.

While politicians and activists predict that women will get as much rights as men soon, they currently have less rights than men, though by a small amount. For example, while a woman cannot run for president at this time, they can, however, run for vice president due to a policy that was issued in 1986. Women have been allowed to voluntarily join the military since 1967, though they were only restricted to non-combative roles such as mechanics, pilots and medics and were never allowed to enter direct combat until 2011.
Gender-related discrimination is considered as illegal, though due to the relatively specific rules that consider an action as such, many of the people who commit these acts make them so minor and subtle that they are only reported whenever the woman notices and reports the issue. When they are reported, only some of them get away with it without punishment. Thanks to the threatening appearance of the police officers, these crimes usually stop after the violator is caught.

Here in EVIWC, women are expected to do the same jobs as men and are expected to serve in the military just like men.

3.85: Women are culturally supposed to bear children to men and has led to inequalities in the lgbt aspect of females in Verelm. But women get high paying jobs and are civilly and politically equal to men and domestic violence and rape are not nonexistent but are not rife either.

Singulus has no laws which would mandate special treatment for anyone based on sex or gender. There are plenty women in leading positions of various businesses and three of our nation's five founders are women: Maxine Edgebrow, Tanya Egome and Lise Middel. Most leading commanders of our primary private military company, the Knightly Order of Gale, are also women. Singulus has no laws against discrimination, however. Despite that, discrimination and prejudice against women, known as sexism and misogyny are rare due to our society's anarchic nature. Due to all that's been mentioned, a feminist or egalitarian movement or the like has never been needed here.

The very notion of gender roles is considered idiotic and counter-productive here. You all may ask "why, Mr. Smith? Why abandon all that when you founded your society?" Well really, the answer is simple. It would be an egregious waste of good resources to mandate or courage people to stay at home due to their sex or gender. To add, it is incredibly arbitrary. You do not need a vagina to stay at home or a penis to work. That is just silly.

On the presented scale, Singulus would score 4 easily.

3.7 The only thing women can not do is serve in the Navy or air force. since the majority of people are married at 18 or 20 and the husbands are always conscripted during wartime women raise children and work in factories while the men go off to war. should an enemy invade St Salvador Proper emergency National Guard units will be created and filled with female Conscripts to serve alongside whats left of The Salventinian Army so far its only needed to be done Twice.

do to The Atlanteans and Bajorans using female Fighters against occupation forces The army does maintain Six Female Battalions of 1,200 each they are trained to the same standard as men.
In ancient times, men built wonders, laid claim to the stars and sought to better themselves for the good of all. But we are much wiser now.

If the road is easy, the destination is worthless.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

3. Women can work (and are expected to) in certain occupations, such as spinning, housework, nursing, midwifery, cooking, cleaning, teaching of juniors, and other occupations. Women are not allowed to work in law, medicine, universities, parliament, and other 'male' occupations. Nortainland is very traditional and conservative.

4. Women are legally the full equals of men. Currently there is a slight majority of women in the senior leadership positions, though the Chief of State and Vice Chief of State are both currently men. Roughly half of all Chiefs of State and Vice Chiefs of State have been women.

0, as the Sool are entirely asexual. For the other species under their dominion it will vary, but as a general rule neither sex will be treated better or worse than the other, only differently.

3, The population of Dutch Mualenia is a mixture of traditional Dutch from pre-WW2, and the more conservative muslim and christian Indonesians. While the majority of the population supports equality laws on all levels, tradition often precedes law, and things such as forced marriages and rape are still taboo to be spoken against, although this usually happens amongst the more traditional Indonesian households.

Somewhere between 3 and 4. Women are legally equal in all respects but traditional gender roles dominate in Oceani society.

3. Women are legally equal in every regard. Discrimination in opportunity and wage is illegal, but not dictatorially so. However, due to Avendonia's strongly conservative societal values, traditional gender roles are still alive and well.

5. Women are the head of the political and economic branches in the Utabian Islands, being lead by matriarchal dynasties for most of the nations history. However, men are equally treated and (on rare occasion) become head of state, if the previous leader had no daughters.

3.5 Women are legally equal to males and sexual harassment/domestic violence is punishable by extremely hefty prison sentences after the "Rape of Norway" invasion of 2012. However, the traditional roles that a male has are held very high here so the average family is a patriarchy. Women's rights to some points of view are absent from our household family structure.
