I'm not sure if "mansplaining" is the correct word, but the comment is a poster child of looking at an example of reported bias and saying "it's actually not that bad because ...".

Is it really reported bias, or just a reflection of different choices in life?
If the model statistically significantly returns a different number for men and for women when controlling for all other factors, then it's a bias. I don't understand how this is even contentious.
The weasel phrase is "controlling for all other factors", which is actually impossible.
This is literally what they did in the study.
