Which is also a notion that nobody has ever argued but suits polarized demagoguery.

I think the above notion is the biggest component of the gender pay gap.
Could you clarify what you mean please? I'm arguing against the imagined notion (which is also regarding representation, not pay).
Well, that notion is certainly used to argue about gender pay gap, where figures like 77 cents to the dollar are touted of.

For representation, if you increase the scope of the notion from "discrimination is the only reason" to "discrimination and unconscious social biases are the only reason", it certainly applies.

I'm not talking about pay gap and that's an expanded notion that I haven't talked about either.
