Like I said in my earlier post, it isn't just about explicit laws in the books, it's about cultural attitudes and peole like Harvey Weinstein and Al Franken who treat women as objects in their minds. Those two might not be a great example since they didn't exaclty act legally, but there are people like them that act within the law and still treat women as objects.
To make an analogy to the civil Rights movement, it's widely believed that if there had been a jury trial in the 1963 Alabama bombing of a black church immediately after it happened, the jurors would have found the bombers Innocent. There's nothing illegsl about making a case in a jury, but the beliefs of those people are still a problem. One of the greatest successes of the civil Rights movement was that they changed hearts as well as laws. And if you want a real-life case (since this is a hypothetical) look at the Emmet Till case.
Now, I'm not trying to equivalize the current treatment of women to the treatment of a group that often got lynched in cold blood. I'm trying to make the point that if you only look at the laws in that books instead of the beliefs society holds, you're missing most of the picture.
