Women can do just as good a job or better than men. If there aren’t a lot of women in a certain proffession, chances are they chose not to - welding.

This attempts to answer the question, "Why do men make more than women?"
That's not what the question really is, the question is, "Why does
Alberta have the
largest wage gap between men and women, the
lowest proportion of dual earners, and the
highest proportion of families with a stay at home parent
of all provinces."
The comparison is not men vs. women, it's Alberta vs. other provinces. So what you've suggested is possible, but doesn't at all address the disparity between provinces.
