This article fails to persuade readers that women play catch-up at work. It provides nothing to support that viewpoint. Young cohorts of workers simply do not face a “gender gap”.

For the sake of making a meaningful discussion, sources for the U.S. gender gap (as that’s the focus of the article) from the US Census [0], Pew Research [1], and a Harvard study showing why a gender gap between identical MBTA union workers existed [2].

You also provide nothing to support your viewpoint.

If you're going to criticize the article for lack of data, that's fair. But be better than them. Can/will you provide data for your claim?

Nope. Maybe if I publish something in a major newspaper I would but not here and now. Good point though. Don’t believe me either.
