It was not.
The “gender pay gap” is comparing the average female pay to the average male pay, not comparing like for like.
One of the main contributors to the purported pay gap is career choice — which is also captured in the BLS statistic that men are 92% of workplace deaths. Talking about a “pay gap” without discussing the “death gap” has always been dishonest.
