No it's not true. At the same job level they earn the same.
Women are more likely to take time off due to pregnancies, and choose careers with a lower salary like teaching though.
If you take women who don’t have caregiving obligations, they’re almost equal with men. It’s somewhere in the 95 percent range. But when women then have children, or again are caring for their own parents or other sick family members who need care, then they need to work differently. They need to work flexibly, and often go part-time. They often get less-good assignments because their bosses think that they’re not going to want work that allows them to travel, or they’re not going to be able to stay up all night, or whatever it is. And so then you start — if you’re working part-time, you don’t get the same raises. And if you’re working flexibly your boss very typically thinks that you’re not that committed to your career, so you don’t get promoted.
The pay gap has been disproven because it doesn't account for other factors.
Thank you for your highly reliable videos.

Not true for all jobs. A female CEO is likely to earn less than a male CEO at a company of a similar size. Because there are less females in high/top-earning jobs, the average is way less. The pay gap mostly shows that females have less opportunities than males.
It is, it's just a highly complicated issue. It's not necessarily just women getting paid less, but also being afforded fewer opportunities, being pushed out of higher-paying jobs, have to take pregnancy leave, etc etc.
So, it's a bit simplistic to just look at wages, because it doesn't paint the full picture of how misogyny affects women adversely in the workplace, especially in terms of job retainment and pay.
