Are they factoring in the child support these "women" are getting from the baby daddies into their income?

Probably not.  That would make the story less sensational.

I guess that depends on how they got their data and how their income is counted.

True. It could probably up it a good chunk if a "woman" had kids from different daddy's.

I guess better education of women also plays a role:

QuoteMarried mothers are increasingly better educated than their husbands. Even though a majority of spouses have a similar educational background, the share of couples in which the mother has attained a higher education than her spouse has gone up from 7% in 1960 to 23% in 2011. In two-parent families today, 61% have a mother whose education level is similar to her husband's, 23% have a mother who is better educated than her husband, and 16% have a father who is better educated than his wife.

The "income gap" part is.  It always is.

Ah well.  It is getting smaller as the older generations retire.  IMAGINE THAT.

It could...presuming those daddy's actually have jobs.

They probably aren't even including the money gained from whoring these "women" get either. :mad:
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Why did you put women in quotes? Are you arguing that they're really men in women's clothing? :unsure:

I'm fairly sure that it exists in different industries, but in the Big Picture it's probably mostly gone.

Not sure what that has to do with this particular article though, except that it seems like whatever gap there may be is rapidly closing as women make up a substantial chunk of the family wage earners now. In essense, the gap is diminishing as women earn more, which makes women more likely to make more than their spouses.

It's just full of win for everyone, isn't it? :D
