I suppose it will be in here somewhere. I have neither the time nor the inclination to read it.

Are men allowed to wear niqabs but not women? That is unfair.

It's not clear why France aren't dark green. On the face of it they should be if Spain are.

Actually, I felt guilty and did a bit of digging. They score low on wage equality and political empowerment. A French Maggie would no doubt boost their rating

one odd indicator is healthy life expectancy, which seems to depend on how long women outlive men. So Russia comes out top with 65 for women, only 55 for men. France is well down the list - because their figures are 76 and 71. The UK, with 73 and 71, is even lower. Seems rather absurd.

Wouldn't be on my map if I had my way.

Don't know why it isn't green though, Obviously there men are still superior.

Yes, it's a bit strange, but French women, in spite of the comparative strengths of the unions, don't have pay parity in a lot of occupations. But they win elsewhere; the French 'welfare state' is very generous with after care for new mothers and their babies, for example. Politics? The French have already had one woman Prime Minister, the delightfully named Mrs Watercress (actually Mme Cresson)

That Canada ranks below the US on health is a surprise. Canada has universal healthcare (which sounds disturbingly like ours on delays) but no private healthcare is permitted. But, when it arrives, the healthcare is very good
