Apples Oranges.

Women work less in construction or similar dangerous jobs, which influences fatalities.

"equal pay for equal work" does not demand women work in the same jobs, it only demands equal pay when they do.

Honest assessments have found the true wage gap to be negligible.

Pretty much any chart of negative outcomes looks like this. Men have far more variance than women do.

It's just that, by nature, men are obviously always in higher-risk jobs...

I suppose I knew it was this disparate, but it's wild to see it.
