Sprack specifically mentioned the so-called gender gap in voting. How is that not mentioning gender?

And the gender pay gap is hardly a lie. Many on the extreme left and extreme right make misleading statements about it, but it clearly exists. Not in the sense that women doing the exact same job as men are paid substantially less all other considerations being similar, as I have heard some on the far left claim still exists, but in the sense that occupations where the workforce is primarily women are perhaps undervalued.

which would have been your post. And no, you didn't mention gender.

Your second paragraph is simply an opinion. What exactly does "undervalued" mean? We have a primarily capitalist system, where market forces, supply, and demand dictate the value of things. If you're asking to artificially inflate the compensation of certain occupations that has nothing to do with the gender pay gap. Nothing is preventing women from entering fields where the workforce is primarily men, and vice versa.
