In Iceland woman make more than men (working part-time);  the gap is only 2.5% in Slovenia.  Women are not equally represented in some of the highest paying professions, which accounts for much of the difference

Women lost their equal work status 10,000 years ago when the plow was invented.  This is a complicated issue.  It will take time.

I'm sure you guys can figure it out.

A very North American (and simply human, I suspect) perspective. I don’t have personal experience, but I believe the more “advanced” democracies of the world have recognized this tendency and legislated to regulate it. I do remember on one job where we worked in conjunction with folks in Germany, and I learned that employers were much more constrained in how many hours they were allowed to require. I’m uncertain as to what is the “best” balance between employers’  and workers’ rights.
