That is 30 identifiable individuals who value the Democrat left's insane "Political correctness" agenda over reality.
Except I’m not a Democrat and have had to actually report managers for blatantly saying they value women less than men. That is the reality where I live, simply because you refuse to see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

That does not tell us that they get paid less for the same work, just that you have swallowed the Democrat left's "Politically correct" talking points that say that they do, regardless of the facts or reality.
I'll agree that part of what makes this assertion implausible is the fact it's based on gross averages, which is wildly inaccurate. However, one thing to consider that has been documented is how women in interview scenarios are less likely to carry themselves with the confidence that men have when negotiating pay. As a result, they may accept a lower salary than a comparable male would.
True, women do not negotiate for salaries and raises like men do. The pay gap is then perpetuated by employers who ask about salary history as a means to determine a wage for that candidate, rather than basing it on the role/position. Once you fall behind, it's hard to catch up, even when changing jobs.
How are there only 4 other people who voted "I don't know."
We all known there is a gap. None of us know the underlying reason(s) for it. Generally the gap shrinks a lot when you adjust for what work people are doing over what tenure but it does not vanish. There are lots of partial explanations and hypotheses but this is not a solved question.

It also doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. You're claiming that everything is equal, that these situations where women are at a distinct disadvantage don't exist. That's simply not true.
