If you sell tampons to a woman no-one bats an eye, and if you try to sell them to men people will point out the silliness of the idea.
But this simple understanding gets thrown out of the window as soon as jobs are involved.
For example males playing football make much more money than their female counterparts; simple logic tell us it's because people like to watch the athletes of top psyche, it's just that they happen to be male thanks to evolutionary predisposition. Males have more strength in the majority muscles in humans and most mammals (only exception is buttocks and upper legs). But no, people likes to immediately assume it's because sexism, a "they against us" mentality where it must be patriarchy or misogyny instead of looking for the most simple explication driven by the market.
And then if you make an average of how much women make and you happen to inclue athletes then this disparity will show up, and people will say stuff live "look women make 77% of what men do, sexism!" Instead of looking at the million variables, conditions of each gender and how they relate to every possible occupation/job field.
