I'm afraid not. The last frontiers of sex discrimination, long after legal mechanisms are put in place for the workplace, will be in houses or worship. It will be in churches and mosques, which have constitutionally protected freedoms in many countries, both third world and developed.
Paul's letter to the Ephesians about wives submitting to their husbands will never be removed from the Bible just as Muhammad's Sura 4 of the Qur'an will always say that women are to be obedient to their husbands. No matter the progressive arguments, apologism, and compromising, those verses are riddled across holy texts and dogma. Sexism will exist as long as there are religious and ideological dogmas that involve sexism.
