The theme of the equal pay for women is suppose to be equal pay for equal jobs. There are hardly any jobs that don't pay the same for male versus female workers. Entertainment is probably the only sector that comes to mind.
Just because they take an average pay for the gender population, does not mean that all those women had the same job as men. They didn't. They chose to take lower paying jobs for differing reasons, whether it was more convenient for the family or because of their lack of skill set. The only disparity today is in the mind of those that wish to exploit the non-issue.

In many corporations have 1 pay scale for all positions. Take for example a technical specialist. The band for that position may have 10 grades to which you can advance. Beginning technical specialists would start at the small pay grade regardless of sex.
You can advance in the band based on performance and years of experience. These factors will affect the rate of pay to different people.
But if the title, experience and performance is the same men and women have to be equal.
