Far from complete but here’s a partial list:

.

Women’s Educational Equity Act encouraged K-12 education to focus on girls. Boys have been doing worse ever since.

Women were added to affirmative action, advantaging women in job hiring.

The government Women Owned Small Business Program provides a few legal advantages for women owned small businesses.

VAWA creates many gender biases favoring women in issues of domestic violence.

Obamacare requires a number of female only mandates but no male only mandates.

Women are exempt from selective service. (Note this goes beyond just the potential to be drafted but is a condition of several other rights including the right to vote).

The original title ix legislation is very gender neutral, but recent interpretations (misinterpretations in my view) of it regarding sexual assault and sexual harassment give women certain rights while denying accused males due process.

There are many, many smaller pieces of legislation such as the women in STEMs act and the Women’s Entrepreneurship Act. (May not have those names quite right).

Some states (such as Georgia) still define rape as a crime men commit against women only. Other states have biased definitions meaning women can often legally claim rape, where a man can’t.

There are a number of government offices legislatively created that benefit women but not men and for which there are no men’s alternative. Examples include the the Office of Women’s Health and The White House Council for Women and Girls but there are many other such entities. These offer services women have a right to but men do not, so I think they qualify as legal rights for women.

The US has abuse laws that help only women (VAWA).

Draft only applies to men

In my country, right to genital integrity (MGM legal, FGM illegal) and the right to be exempt from military service (mandatory for men, voluntary for women).

Women have more rights than men today

The obvious one is “consenting to sex is not consenting to parenthood”. Women can take the morning after pill and have a abortion (even in Texas, although they probably wouldn’t realise they’re pregnant until after the cut off date there). Even after the child is born they can adopt it out by leaving the infant at a police or fire station. A man at the very least will be held responsible financially and has no recourse. And the same feminists who whinge about “my body” insist that if he wasn’t willing to pay all this child support he shouldn’t have had sex.

Reproduction rights. Man have no say in the continuing or termination of pregnancy.

Rights are usually equal (with a key difference being abortion rights and no legal abortion for men).

Whats very different is the application of those rights. By constitution nearly every country has a provision that genders are equal. In practice - men tend to get longer sentences for same crimes. The list goes on.

In the USA?

Try googling something like "state passes women's rights bill" it'll probably be stories about new laws that are sexist in giving women-only rights.

A recent high profile law was the male-only draft that was preserved by the USSC and Congress acting unconstitutionally.

The Violence Against Women Act (which funds all the DV shelters in the country) is explicitly sexist.

Usually however it's the implementation of the (in theory gender neutrally worded) laws that is sexist like the way Title IX is interpreted as a massively sexist law despite it in fact being a law that bans sex discrimination.

Another well known big example would be so-called Obamacare which mandates coverage for women be better than that for men, but that women only be charged the same rates.

Lots of small examples like the way the federal Medicare system won't cover men for breast cancer but only women.
