Yes. Including homelessness, disease, religious background, language, distance from an opportunity, nationality, sexual orientation, financial stability of their parents, lack of lottery winnings or inheritance, mental acuity or lack there of, mental disorder, physical deformity, and indeed sex. And combinations of those and etc.'s that I didn't think of. Everyone has countless reasons to fail. Sex is by far among the smallest of those reasons.

  Yes, exactly. And therefore it has the least impact on the individual. Giving everyone a dollar is the same as giving no one a dollar. -Econ 101 Compare that with say, severe anxiety, inability to take tests, low IQ. Or even just lack of interview experience, and never asking for a raise. These last two dramatically affect income and are true of a strikingly large number of women compared with men.[1] Is it possible that women aren't asking for raises because everyone keeps telling them that they need "special" help (implied inferiority)? That they won't get raises, so why bother? I think it's a factor. I think your argument, while well intentioned, might be causal in preventing women's success.
