There are many reasons for differences in pay and you can't make blanket statements without looking at the individual careers and individual circumstances. That goes for everything else on HA's list... circumstances matter a lot.
WHAT has changed is the "norm" was a good factory job/skilled workers of occupational positions...welders,wood makers,mechanics,plumbers,electric wizards that brought home a GOOD wage,unions assisted with that. ONE paycheck would cover a middle class lifestyle,( the need for an SUV, a sportscar AND a truck,the need for a 52 inch TV screen, a three car garage,a membership to the gym/golf course,a cruise to an exotic place,THE latest trending clothes was not even on the radar.) THAT is what changed. When the woman found B.C. pills that freed her from unwanted children and allowed her a gift of what life could look like,not being burdened with babies to bounce on her hip.....SHE saw what men take for granite......autonomy and control of their lives.
SORRY, PARITY is a problem...if I am doing the exact same job and doing it exceptionally well,my pay should not be based upon my gender. ("the man has a family to support"....here's a little bump to your check)

I got a chuckle over the above comment, particularly the ".....exceptionallyl well". This statement indicates that a person, regardless of gender (btw do you include the 20+ genders and growing) should be paid the same amount regardless of exceptionalism.
Want to restate?
Now if you could provide examples of the disparity in pay based on gender, your argument may well be substantiated.
