A new study by WalletHub turns Texas exceptionalism on its head when it comes to women’s equality.

The credit and financial advice website’s 2017’s Best & Worst States for Women’s Equality study ranks Texas third-to-last at No. 48, just behind South Carolina and just ahead of Virginia. Utah was dead last at No. 50.

Wallethub said their analysts "compared the 50 states across 15 key indicators of gender equality. Our data set ranges from the gap between female and male executives to the disparity in unemployment rates for women and men."

The Lone Star State was nearly middle-of-the-pack in the sub-ranking for "Workplace Environment" at No. 29, but did poorly in rankings for "Education & Health" and "Political Empowerment" at No. 45 in each category.
