Pony society is mostly matriarchal, with females being a majority and the Divine Alicorn Princesses being female. But, nevertheless, both males and females have equal rights.

Women, men, the distinction is meaningless. The Party has even declared bisexuality to be the true sexual orientation that will guide the people to communism. We tend to look beyond gender.

One law that has been criticised politely for being somewhat sexist is our consciption laws, in which women's obligatory trainning courses (a few weeks a year, staggered) end at 16. The law is defended on the grounds that the nation's armed forces cannot adequately train and arm the entire population as part of the militias, and also the women may still sign up for further training if they wish.

our women are treated more or less as equals, although typically their well-being is more safeguarded.
However, other than that women receive no special rights or privileges. (One of the reasons there are fewer women then men in the Military, few women can pass the fitness tests.)

Well since we have many women in the military, and our current Chancellor is a girl so I think it's pretty self-explanatory how we treat them
Just a heads up, I suffer from [insert stereotypical internet illness here], and will use it as an excuse instead of taking responsibility for my actions.

As a historically matriarchal country women are socially on a much higher pedestal than men are, although in more recent years it has become more equal. Of course, under the law men and women are completely equal, and because we are a majority pansexual nation the sexual organs inside one's pants doesn't mean anything to us. Well actually it doesn't take much to see one's sexual organs since we're nudists...

Women are equal in all aspects, and are seen as highly in society as men are. The respect of a person isn't because of their gender, solely because of their honor. There are Samurai women who are distinguished warriors, and some of them form part of our government. Examples of this are Ginchiyô Tachibana, head of the Tachibana Clan and Supreme General of the Samurai Army, reporting directly to Minister of Defense Shingen Takeda; and Supreme Admiral Naomi Shirada, head of the Samurai Navy. The wives of many Samurai leaders are too involved in running matters of state. Such is the case of Lady Inahime Honda, wife of Nobuyuki Sanada, Daimyô of the Shinano Island.

Women are equal members of society, though are traditionally viewed as homemakers. Many households nevertheless have husbands or male partners as the homemaker, or pull 'double-duty.'
it is ultimately class which divides us.

Equal and has been since the rule of Queen Anneria back in the 1800's. Women are considered mentally equal but physically different (duh...) and they can join the armed forces, work in government, hell our current president is a woman.

Women in Arda Tuluvan society have been treated with the greatest of respect and honor since the ages before antiquity and are treated as social equal. In fact, since the foundation of the Tercenë Dynasty some millenia ago only women have ascended to the Throne.

"In this vast expanse, that is sheltered by evil and led astray,
she will be the beacon of light in the darkness, to the warriors of the Fëanturi,
and to all who follow the true Path to salvation. With the wisdom of the ages,
she will lead us to glorious victory over any and all unbelievers."

Well, what constitutes true equality is a matter of opinion, but I would describe Xanthalian society overall as equal, though there are regions and communities within Xanthal which favor males or females in various respects.
