> Overall, about 16% of all young women who are working full time, year-round live in the 22 metros where women are at or above wage parity with men.

Thats only sixteen percent of women. Or put another way, 84% of men still make more than women.

> Younger women in urban/metro areas are doing significantly better than their male peers economically (higher employment rates and income). This gap is increasing.

In 22 metro areas.

You’re framing your argument in a way that seems especially combative and antagonistic towards women gaining a level playing field. It’s not a zero sum game, but men will absolutely lose privilege as women even the playing field. There will be cases where women make more, and that’s life. And if women as a whole for a while make more than men, big deal, it’ll eventually even out.
