You also completely ignored the fact the law and medicine programs in Canada are majority female. As for high paying professions it doesn't get much better than these. I don't know the Dentist stats but I assume they are the similar.

A first year RN who gets a 1.0 line, maybe. But most first year RN's (in my experience anyways, with my friends) pick up casual lines because they can't get hired to a line (even a 0.6 or 0.8) because they have no seniority with the union.
And I'm an engineer and I think $80k/year in Alberta is probably not out of the realm of reality if you graduate with internship experience. I know how much I made my first year out several years ago.
And an Alberta engineer with 10 years experience is likely making more than the RN at 10 years. We could look at the APEGA survey to see.
I don't think the point is to compare what female doctors and dentists make vs the general male population. What do female doctors and dentists make compared to male doctors and dentists, with equivalent education and experience?
Last time I looked at the APEGA survey, for example, female engineering salaries still lagged male engineering salaries of equivalent education, experience, and job levels.
