Indeed if you control for these there’s no gap in the outcome variable (pay) but there is a huge gap in the n variable (number of women).

The question to ask then is why does that happen? Are the reasons for that valid? Are equal opportunities available? Do we even want equal opportunities as a society or an individual?

Because women, more typically than men, raise children as their full time job.

Are women not better equipped to raise children than men? Clearly yes.
