Just to be clear - the pay gap mostly disappears once you control for field, position, and experience. Women aren’t getting paid substantially less for the same job while having the same credentials. Also - even in fields like medicine… there’s a reason surgeons are overwhelmingly male. Women don’t want to keep doing training and intense hours during their final years of being able to have a kid. Whereas men will plough through and do it anyway. (Mainly because they have no other choice - men would choose otherwise if women would let them)
Women end up choosing a lot of lower paid fields whereas men choose higher paid ones. You can makeup whatever reasons you want for that but that’s just facts - and that’s what the “pay gap” is from.
