I don't know any details so I can't really comment on the overall issues. One thing I can say from the personal experience of going to quite a few USWNT matches: the corporate marketing to the thousands of teenage and pre-teen girls (which most seem to claim is the #1 target group) at the women's matches is on a completely different scale than anything I've seen at the men's matches.
Now time for the reality check for people
No one gives a shite about the women's game, except teenage and young girls, women who played growing up, feminist and parents of daughters who play that take their little girls to see their hero's. Nothing wrong with any of that but the women's game demographic is much smaller and its even smaller abroad.

Don't you know it's sexist to say things like this. This is a safe space

Now I'm trying to figure out where I fit in this list.

This may or may not be true, but even if it is, that's still a very profitable audience, as evidenced by the $26.7 million the USWNT generated last year.
They want and deserve a pay raise. They may actually want equal pay, but that's an argument akin to (yet on a different scale from) saying NBA players and WNBA players should get equal pay.
But I'd guess they'll settle for a nice raise that evens things out more.
