not really. thats how you isolate a variable. people are postulating the reason for the gap is sexism. so you isolate all the variables until the only difference is sex. and then you see if theres a difference. its basic statistical methodology. in fact alot of people are mistakenly under the impression that women make less for the same role/experience level, which my statistic shows isnt true. if you dont adjust for something then its just an idiotic comparison. like i said, non-adjusted asian women make more than white men. (so do nigerians) But you arent crying about asian women supremacy. or the the system is racist/sexist against white men. now of course you can argue "sexism of the gaps". that the reason women choose jobs that make less is sexism itself. but youd have to prove that assertion, and not simply that hey prefer jobs that tend to make less like social work and teaching. and youd have to explain why the so called wage gap is bigger in the most gender-equal countries like norway and denmark whereas its the smallest in the least equal countries like in the middle east.
