tl;dr If you strictly mean men getting higher paychecks than women for the same job, no, it's not really a thing. If you mean opportunities to get as much money as men, then yes, there is a pay gap. Men tend to make more money than women, because they are men.
Well, if you believe the U.S. government, the gender pay gap does exist. You can find info on it at www.whitehouse.gov Essentially, they say the pay gap grows over the course of the career. At entry level positions, men and women are paid the same, in most cases, but women are less likely to reach higher positions. Women also are less likely to receive health insurance, paid leave, and retirement saving plans compared to men.
