Not really, in my country for example there are laws that make it illegal to pay differently for the same job, but in some American states, for example there are cases of women earning less than their workplace inferior co-workers so I would be careful when saying that it isn't true, it's half-truth IMO - This is more prone to happening if there is a lack of labour laws and the prevalent mentality is the "free hiring, free salary and free firing". However I'd like to point out that the pay gap isn't merely about exercising the same job as you put it, it's about on average the salary you'll have during your lifetime will be lower simply because you were born with a vagina, and I'm not even going to talk about other discriminated groups of people like transexuals or gays.
