No. Again, if you did, it would be illegal. I really do not want to get into this debate because I'd just be perceived as being essentially the same as this nutbar, but briefly, the wage gap reflects differences in gross earnings between the sexes, it doesn't account for the different proportions of men and women that do different jobs, which in turn have different wages associated with them, among a thousand other things. It's a bird's eye view.
It's not at all surprising that at your particular job, or in your industry, pay levels are basically equal. It's the same in mine - a woman doing the same job as me at the same level of experience makes an equivalent amount of money, notwithstanding that men in Canada make way,
way more money at my job than women do if you add up the totals.
