The pay gap discussion doesn’t only revolve around some work being compensated less than other work (retail vs some office job). The main issue, as far as I’m informed, lies in the same work being compensated differently solely based on gender.

Another point considering work that is better performed by men. We may call for fair wages taking the different output into account. But at least a discussion should be had on whether we want that (equality vs equity).

That last picture isn't liberation, they're now in the field of play and are therefore the shittiest outfielders I've ever seen. Setting aside not being in uniforms, they're all like 20 feet from 2nd base and so tightly clustered there's effectively no coverage in LF or RF. A line drive anywhere but dead center scores a runner on first in the best case scenario, more likely an easy inside-the-parker. If I was their skipper they'd be running drills till the sun came up.
