The key point here is their definition. To anyone who doesn't already hold their views it's obvious what you mean, but if you believe in widespread sexism affecting pay, which it does in certain areas both against men and women, then someone saying the wage gap is a myth is just stupid since we have a large amount of real evidence showing men make more money than women. The focus should be diverted to why men make more money than women, including everything from working more hours to working more dangerous jobs and all that. If you can rationally explain the wage gap there's no issue, if you just dismiss it entirely you lose a lot of people, including the ones that really matter: those that believe the wage gap is caused by sexism against women but are open to understanding why the wage gap really exists.

Are you familiar with the phrase "earnings gap"? This is the idea that men make more, overall, which sounds like what you're explaining. The reason this is what you're explaining is this line: "working more hours to working more dangerous jobs."

I'm sure you'd reason that, at this point, the conversation is not about a "wage" anymore. A wage would be an hourly earning, which with these two added variables becomes something entirely different than a conversation about wage.

The argument of the wage gap suggest that men and women earn different amounts for the same job, same time, same everything, and the only distinguishing factor for the wage discrepancy is gender.

Please let me know if you don't feel that adequately addresses your concerns.
