Forget the gender pay gap. The class gap is much bigger

Interestingly, people who wring their hands about the gender pay gap tend to be focused on the professional class, to which they belong. They seldom focus on the occupations in which most women actually work – teaching, nursing, hospitality and housekeeping, retail, clerical. Equal pay is not an issue for these women, because these fields remain almost entirely female. This is true even in enlightened Nordic countries such as Sweden, which are widely known for their gender equality.
