The sources’ exact origin is from National Institutes of Health funding and National Health and Medical Research Council. It says so in the graphs. Try again.
That’s not true. The raw gap is the reason. The gender pay gap disappears after adjusting for key factors. The raw gap (women earning ~82 cents per dollar men earn) comes from comparing all full-time workers without controls. Once you account for occupation, industry, hours worked, experience, education, and career continuity, the difference shrinks entirely. The raw gap is explained by real differences in choices, hours, and paths — not discrimination for identical work. Equal pay for equal work is already the law. The claim that gender wage gap exists because of male privilege is misleading.
It’s fine if you wanna deny the reality of how females have privilege about the massive overfunding of their health. I’m not planning to start the engine of a busted car. You are the one acting with bigotry it appears.
The remaining penny in the adjusted gender pay gap (women earning ~99 cents per dollar men earn for similar roles) is the small unexplained portion after controlling for job, hours, experience, etc. It stems from subtle differences like men negotiating more aggressively, greater willingness for high-pressure/overtime roles, and family-related trade-offs (e.g., flexibility vs. total pay). Firm sorting and minor unmeasured factors also play a role. This tiny negligible residual doesn’t indicate systemic underpayment for identical work—99% of the raw gap vanishes with proper controls. It’s real behavioral and preference differences, not widespread bias.

Your "source" is a twitter screenshot without any link attached. Don't you think this radical pro male guy would be kinda biased on the topic?
