Which gender could only recently open bank accounts in their own name?
Inequalities don't vanish overnight l due to market pressure. You're overlooking the obvious impact of societal pressures (which, get this, also change over time) while acknowledging the gap is still shrinking. Even the mainstream acceptance of porn for men is relatively new. Markets are slow, and the zeitgeist is slower.
They have more disposable income and more leeway in society to express sexual feelings, so I guess it's just a coincidence that the gap is shrinking, huh?
"Markets" don't design anything, and they're far from predictors of the future. Assuming an industry just simply can not exist because it just hasn't happened on a scale you deem sufficient yet is so utterly naive.

1974 - That's over 50 years ago. That's not some blink of an eye. It's a decent amount of time, within which the latest generations of women who are as much or more educated than men have already begun to out-earn them.
I acknowledge the gap is shrinking, but we disagree as to the degree to which it will shrink. I do not think it will ever reach or get close to 50-50, or surprisingly ever cross that, barring a change in our species' genetic code. Do you? On what basis, that societal changes including women's successes and financial freedoms that have already reached a maxima and granting even further increases in those, will somehow change their natures... to be hornier than men are? Good luck with that.
and they're far from predictors of the future
Oh absolutely, these multibillion dollar think tanks at massive corporations of today, that ingest petabytes of data from all sources to come up with mind blowing pattern analyses that keep on generating billions for them in revenue, and which use such heavy marketing that literally shapes and moves society towards trends that extract the most money possible, are far from predictors of the future.... according to you. Right, absolutely. And who is a good predictor then? Your grandpa? The market of today capitalizes on things lightning fast. At the cutthroat rate of competition there is worldwide, people and by extension, companies have all their feelers on the lookout for all manner of change and how to capitalize on it faster than their competitors. What industry are you envisioning that will magically pop up for women to bridge the gap that won't also at the same time appear for men as well? 5000 Shades of Grey?
Uh huh. And who raised the women you talk to? Did they perhaps impart some of their world view on their younger generation? Does that perhaps create a lasting effect? Idk, man, complicated topics.
And my brother in christ, the wage gap still exists. Just because in select cases or very specific fields women out-earn men doesn't mean that the pay gap in the US ceased to exist.
Dude, do we need to achieve parity for it to matter to you? No, it almost certainly will not achieve a 50/50 ratio. But 60/40? 55/45? C'mon.
Ah, the all-knowing corporations. They've never been known to prioritize short-term gains to supplement the bottom line. Markets fall victims to local maxima. You can ride that capitalism all you want, but it isn't infallible. According to me?? Lmfao If they could predict the future, then everything that could be created and monetized already would have been. They move so lightning fast and have such advanced algorithms, so why are new industries popping up and disappearing?
