He's trying to show us that there is progress being made, in his view, and we should embrace that and not immediately sh*t on it with "but this and that and imbalance and systemic"

Viewing women simply as victims in a society where they have zero control only helps perpetuate the myth that only men can save them. There needs to be a balance.
Exiled: I think the "problem" with the examples you are using is that those are extremely educated women in professions who are likely of a socio-economic status that allows them to overcome some of the obstacles they face in every day life. I suspect the wage gap for unskilled or low-skilled labour is greater than 23 cents.
