Look, we live in a complex world where there are 2 sexes for human beings, with some people having traits of both to varying degrees, that leads to physiological, hormonal, genetic, and neurological differences that make every person unique and therefore we will not have a world that treats everyone fairly or equally as that would be close to impossible. What we do have is the mental capacity to cooperate and learn and trying to blame sex or gender for differences when there is a more obvious cause for the issue, wealth disparity, then that is the problem. In gender terms male, female or other, sexual orientation, or whatever we have seen time and time again that rich assholes get away with things for a very long time, in recent times you've had Ellen degeneres (abusing employees), Trump (need I elaborate?), Epstein (see trump), Harvey Weinstein, almost every politician above a certain level, and all sorts of people with social standing, power, or money able to get away with small things at first then escalating until the foundation of their reputation collapses, and maybe they are able to come back from that or maybe not. If you look on the lowest rungs of the pay scale I would assume there is sexual harassment or holding of pay raises from managers against their poorest employees but the poorest still make the same. Are there societal or biological incentives that means a woman makes more in tips as a waitress then a waiter I'd say yes and those factors also play into men probably grouping together to help move up in corporate jobs historically. I can tell you right here and now though that the richest people on earth do not need you to help some of them get pay parity with others when they both make millions or times more than you will in your life, or neither of the men or women at the top will likely ever spend time in anything other than a low security prison after bilking people of their retirement savings if they see jail time at all, and going into war of the sexes or race war territory is the easiest way they can divide us. Yes finding ways of making inequality lesser is a good thing, just don't let it be a tool of separation and division against ourselves when unity is most needed.
