I agree with your point that people need to be careful to not dismiss the gender gap issue (which certainly exists for anyone over a certain age) I have found on Reddit and here that the top comments are almost always against the original article if there is any way to view the conclusion differently. I do not believe it is a systematic problem, it allows you to quickly get a hold of two conflicting viewpoints quickly. I took the top comment to be "It is extremely difficult to mitigate factors when it comes to the gender gap, especially lost work time due to child care", he then quoted a study where a differential comparison saw at least one example of the opposite gender inequality. Additionally the gender gap is rooted in cultural reasons, so comparing different countries is different. Specifically the existence of a certain gender gap in Germany does not mean such a gap exists in the US.

You make good points. I second the last thing you brought up: Germany has one of the worst gender pay gaps in Europe, so that the situation in the US is most likely better than here, not worse. However, I'd like to point out that my criticism was not aimed at the top comment but at many of the comments here in "the middle". What shocked me was not so much that people hold a view opposed to mine, but the dismissive tone of some posts.
