Oh God, *Facepalm*.

Wage gaps are caused by various other factors like time taken off work, hours worked, profession chosen, ability to negotiate pay, etc.

Skin color and gender may affect some factors, but that works both ways.

Women in general make less, because on average they work less. And when they do work, they generally take the lower end jobs that pay less.

you perhaps could then see the problem if women/minorities are given fewer hours, given less consideration in negotiation, are not hired for higher end jobs, are not given access to higher paying professions, etc., right?

because THAT is the issue. race/gender plays into all/most of the other factors. and one could show that if you check to see if there are racial/gender disparities in the same direction in all of those other factors. after a certain point, you have to admit that race/gender affect pay
