Besides the gap myth (or misconception, I would call it) that others have already pointed out, this article contains some other questionable statements.
> Numerous studies have shown that equal pay for women would significantly boost the American economy—in one year, the U.S. would have produced $447.6 billion more income
Surely this income not going to women is going to someone else -- male workers, presumably, or to shareholders. $450B wouldn't just come out of thin air, would it?
The linked page doesn't explain how they came to this number. I'm assuming they just took the difference women earn on average times the number of working women.
