The actual science on the "pay gap" says that it comes from two sources:

First, women negotiate differently for pay than men. Men generally negotiate primarily for money, consistent with the traditional societal role of being the "breadwinner." Women negotiate more for flexibility, consistent with the traditional societal role as caregivers for family, especially children. In short, women are, on average, more likely to negotiate for flexible hours so they can take the kids to school, than men.

And second, women take more time off after childbirth, by enough of a margin (often a few weeks vs several months or even a year) that a woman of a given age will have less seniority than a man of the same age in the same job.

Taking the second into account, a lot of the pay gap goes away.

Not being interested in seeing their show is one thing. Wanting them banned is something else.

The difference between not wanting to see their show and not wanting anyone else to see their show is very important. The former is ordinary, the latter his dangerous, cult-like behavior.

I'm still impressed that the Teams web client can't edit a message with an emoji in it without messing up the keyboard controls and often corrupting the message and losing data. It's had this bug for years. It's literally a messaging app where you can't reliably send messages.
