True. Another factor which occurs to me, is that some dirty more dangerous work, with higher pay, are predominantly done by men. Relatively few women ever seek jobs in construction, or as truck drivers, for example.
If its not a trick/weighted coin, yes.
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
So post-17th Amendment ratification federal Democrats and RINOs evidently planning to steal state powers to make federal pay equality laws amounts to politicking to win votes from low-information citizens and illegal aliens in 2020 elections.
In other words, corrupt Democratic lawmakers are hoping to get themselves reelected so that they can continue to steal state revenues in the form of unconstitutional federal taxes.

"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." -Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added]. Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country. Justice Brandeis, Laboratories of democracy.
Note that constitutional limits on states as laboratories of democracy is that states cannot establish privileged / protected classes or abridge constitutionally enumerated rights, and must maintain a republican form of government.
"The Holy Grail of organized crime is to control government power to tax." me
"The constitutionally undefined political parties are basically competing, corrupt voter unions, union dues paid by means of unconstitutional federal taxes. me
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." me
Insights welcome.
Or that a female data entry drone sitting in an air conditioned office should be paid as much as a male driving a 53' trailer through busy traffic and handling thousands of pounds of freight in the Phoenix sun?

I’m not saying they are entitled, legally or otherwise.
