Because of maternity leave. Bosses don't want to deal with the woman going off for 3-4 years, paying them, getting new staff and training them to do the job all over again.

wouldn't a few months of maternity leave balance out over 60~ years of lower wages

Because this isn't the truth. Women are paid less because of their lower performance compared to men and tendency to focus and care more about their family than work. Of course there are exceptions of high performing women in the work force, but for the other 85% my previous comment applies.

obviously it would.
must be a trick question.
if women wanted less pay for the same work they would have a market advantage.
so the only logical explanation is they don't.

The cost of hiring a woman, expecting to pay her less, is her emotions fucking up your business.

Women suck at decision-making too. Takes a while for the independent thought gears to engage.

gender activists would disagree

Sexual harassment suits cost more.

single women under 30 are paid more than single men under 30

Because they are either too soft and emotional, or overcompensate and are far too cut-throat and everybody comes to hate working with them.

Also maternity leave. Nevermind this "over the course of 50 years". Employees don't hang around that long.

Women who go on maternity leave, in their absense, miss opportunities for promotion, advancement, etc.

Which is completely fair. Having a fuck trophy is a choice, and if a woman wants to have a fuck trophy, they're prioritizing having the kid over their job, which means that more work-oriented people are going to advance in the workplace. Because men do not have the option of getting pregnant, they work, and they consistently work.

A career-oriented woman who does not have children has the same opportunities as men. By the same token, stay-at-home dads are going to make shit compared to the household breadwinner.

Ctd:

Exascerbating this is the fact that a woman can anchor themselves to a man by getting pregnant. This is due to the fact that women are disproportionately favored with regard to child custody and thus can get paid to do nothing but watch their fuck trophys run around. This forces the men who impregnated them to work as wage slaves as they basically have no other choice.

The wage gap exists, and it isn't a problem. There are reasons why it exists and they are reasons that many specific women find very convenient and there is no good/egalitarian reason to change it.
