If companies could hire woman employees, hire them, pay them less then won’t all the companies make their work force all women then?

Honest question.

Are all of your arguments so simplistic, or do you live in the real world?

an overview on why you are wrong. Plus it is illegal in the USA to pay a woman less money than a man solely based on their gender for 60 years. The law that made this official was the The Equal Pay Act of 1963.

An overview from a "former contributor" (translation:  they don't accept her articles anymore) to a Wall Street magazine, who writes about psychology and makes her money from books decrying "Wokeness".  Try harder.  This is a fluff piece for the right with no real content.  Posting an Andrew Tate link would only be slightly worse here...

You'll note that the same organization touted in your link has quite a bit more to say about the gender pay gap in the article above.

Lots of things are "illegal".  All that matters is enforcement, and there is little to none on the Equal Pay Act of 1963.  It's also illegal to defraud customers about products you sell, yet 100s of millions of people every day watch commercials with hamburgers coated in varnish and made with raw uncooked meat seared for 2 seconds, to appear larger.  Why?  No enforcement.

Weak opinion piece written without any statistics or facts to back it up. The author merely announces that a gender pay gap doesn't exist, lists some of the reasons why women get paid less and finishes with "Ladies, go out and make it happen!" platitude. 

Women make 83% less than men overall in the US. That's a fact.

The pay gap is based on the median income with no nuance taken into accounts. Men work higher paying jobs such as jobs in STEM fields

As I said earlier, the gender pay gap is not that a woman is paid less than a man purely because of her gender but that women overall are paid less than men because of the disadvantages they face - such as the ones you list out below. Some people seem to think that women deserve to be paid less because they’re choosing to raise children instead; that’s basically the same attitude that says people are poor because they don’t work hard enough, and why should their taxes go towards supporting lazy people. It’s victim blaming and reinforces those disadvantages as well as demonstrates a lack of empathy.

Bro what do people mean by girls can't go against guysin chess. There are many women that who are way smarter than most men, just because not a lot women are in the chess industry that doesn't mean that women arent as capable. Overall, i dont think its right to make two different titles for women gm and men gm.

If this is truly not a troll, which I doubt, then…

Simply put, statistically, women have less involvement in the chess community. There are less women who play chess competitively (and casually), and less women who are as high rated as men. The 2300 required for WGM is to help women reach the title easier, and like chaotikitat said, it helps create more interest in the game for women. Finally, no one has brought to light the point that women can also compete for the GM title, at 2500.
