When controlled for education, profession, hours worked, etc... the wage gap shrinks to roughly 4-5% depending on the study and research. There are always going to be outliers and individual cases of discrimination but to say the wage gap is a major issue is dishonest.
I would still consider a 5% gap to be a big issue.

A big issue?
Nut up and say it. You believe that after controlling for those other reasonable variables, the remaining difference can best be explained by...__________ (cowardly punting by saying "a big issue" is not acceptable).

I would not. You know why? Because with the scope we're talking about, not everything is going to be equal. Ever. But at 5% and shrinking, it's not an issue at all.
