Where I work, males and females get paid the exact same. This means there is no gender pay gap.

Just because its written by a woman doesn't automatically make it incorrect. Secondly it does not say its unfair to pay a man more for working more than 40 hours, point out where that is mentioned.

This paper looks in-depth at what factors are causing the wage gap and at which points the gap has narrowed. It found that in most instances it has narrowed significantly and basically become non-existent in the tech industry. It also found that educated women are becoming more equally paid compared to their male counterparts since the 70's. They found that nearly all the gap can be accounted for by 2 remaining factors; 1) Traditionally female dominated jobs just pay less.( E.G. teachers, nurses) than male dominated jobs (E.G. engineers, doctors) and 2) When a family has a child traditionally the woman stays home and the man keeps working more to advance his career.

They don't even argue that the first point is a problem, this isn't an opinion paper its mostly data analysis. They do state that without overtime the gap would not exist or it would be much smaller but that is when trying to determine why their is such a difference in what women and men make in different professional sectors, specifically why do women make so much less in business and finance than they do in science and tech when compared to men with equal education in their field. The reason they came up with was how much overtime was required to advance your career.
