Those variables you listed account for 65.1 and 76.4 percent of raw gender wage gap [1]. The real 4.8 to 7.1 percent wage gap is what is left over after removing factors, and is attributed to gender.

You first claimed that there is no gender wage gap, and in the face of the evidence you're creating hypotheticals to say it's not a true gender wage gap (i.e. no true scotsman). Do you know what confirmation bias is?

I'm saying those aren't accounted for, and as such the gender wage gap (which is taken to mean the differences in wages caused by modern day sexism, and not just a difference in the pay of the average man vs. the average woman ignoring all factors) does not exist.

>Do you know what confirmation bias is?

Thinking that because a small list of factors account for ~70% of the gap that the rest of it must be sexism.

Read the research - they are accounted for.

CONSAD, Pew, and the U.S. Dept. of Labor have provided strong statistical evidence from research that the 4.5-7 percent gender wage gap exists. Your fixation on accounted-for factors and unwillingness to accept the facts is textbook confirmation bias.
