It's hard to say things that can easily be misconstrued. The wage gap: guess what, women don't take high paying dangerous oil rigging jobs. Men suffer 90% of workplace deaths. Those deaths are high paying. It's unpopular, because it sucks, but it's true, so lets not tabloid-ize it.
The same people saying there is a wage gap are saying that every rich person is too greedy. So, if they're greedy and only care about money, why wouldn't they hire only women? They can pay women less and they only care about money. Are they saying that the only things ceos care about more than money is men? Doesn't add up.
This is a single issue, a single "one liner" that won't die. Remember the old story "if you flash your headlights at a certain gang, they'll follow you and shoot you". Sometimes lies are more viral than the truth. It's much easier to fool someone than convince them they've been fooled. It hurts to be told you were fooled, it feels fun to be a fool.
