If we had 50 men 50 women and told them ill give you 100$ to jump off this cliff and into the water or 10$ to watch people jump off the cliff. I can guarantee you all 50 men would jump the cliff and maybe, ill give them the benefit of the doubt, 3 women would jump and 47 women would just sit and watch.
People should be made aware that salary and benefits/perks differ between a Part-Time, Contractual, and a Regular job, Number of work hours rendered, Overtime Work, The difference between a normal/safe and a dangerous job, Location, Indoor/Outdoor, The number of years an employee has been working for the same firm (senior vs. rookie), Merits/Credentials, skillset, level of expertise and actual years of hands-on experience. The difference between male and female benefits (e.g.: Maternity Leave vs. Paternity Leave), Company-specific bonuses, Performance-based appraisal or bonuses, etc.. These are just several factors that determine and differentiate salary and benefits/perks across different fields: Science, Technology, Engineering, Advertising, Real Estate, Journalism, Construction, Mining (Coal, Oil, Precious and Rare Metals), Education, Farming, Pharmaceutical/Healthcare/Medicine, etc..–You get the point.
You also need to consider the company/firm/jobsite itself: competitiveness of salary, size, investors, job demand/investment profitability, geographical location (income tax may differ), state of economy, etc..
You may have the same job title but it does not mean you will always have the same salary/benefit. e.g: Actor (famous with emmy awardee) vs. Actor (slightly famous but no award)
Anyone who has/had their own business/firm, or has/had real work experience, or just did research and has sound logic would know these case-to-case factors and should not have a difficult time understanding.
So if the wage gap exists, and we change society to make it equal, will men no longer be required to spend more money than women ie pay for dates, pay the rent, mortgage, bills?

The reality is, men should be paid more. Go to any regular job, it's the guys doing the physical stuff and the regular stuff.
I'm a lineman, work on live and dead power lines. Know why they call us linemen? Because women do not do it
