This is partially true.
We need to notice the fact that women are phone to less demanding job. Like in a bank, more women are doing marketing, while more men are doing real banking.
Basically, the women who do the same amount of job in the same position in the same company as man will get the same salary.

アメリカの男女賃金均等日が4月17日である理由　Facebook　COO シェリルさんの問題提起 — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 09:22:21 +0000

[...] アメリカでは、4月17日は賃金均等日といわれているそうです。どうして4月17日かというと女性が男性と同じだけの年間賃金を得るためには、1年では足りず翌年の4月17日まで働かなければいけないからということです。参考：Today is Equal Pay Day, How Does The Gender Pay Gap Affect You? [...]

Just to clarify. The Paycheck Fairness Act is not hitting the floor soon. The Paycheck Fairness Act (HR 1519/S 797) was introduced in the 112th Congress by lead sponsors Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut and Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland. The Paycheck Fairness Act has 177 cosponsors in the House and 34 in the Senate. There was a briefing on the Paycheck Fairness Act this afternoon with House sponsor Rep. Rosa DeLauro and the Fair Pay Coalition. The bill continues to add cosponsors but as of now, no hearings or votes are scheduled. You can call your Senator or Congress person and ask them to be a co-sponsor on this bill. Thanks for calling awareness to this important piece of legislation.

It’s been pretty solidly established by now that the “gender pay gap” is a statistical illusion. In fact, when controlling for education level, years of experience, etc., women actually make, on average, a penny or two more than men.

Anyone attempting to make this claim seriously in the last couple of years is link-baiting at best, and outright lying at worst.

Louis XIV of France once declared: “Under a king, a country is really ruled by a woman.” And so it is. French men and women actually like each other.A lot. Flirtation is a civic duty in France, not a menace. French women generally prefer men to be in the picture, not out of it.

I really don’t know how the pay gap is affecting me. I work for the health insurance.
This money pays rent and bills and what not, but my butter for this bread comes from my side hustle, in which I set the price.

I’ve been affected by a pay gap in general by being in jobs where people who were horrible employees were paid more than me.
