I won't deny that SOME of that 5-6% COULD be due to implicit bias. (Some of that 5-6% must be that men ask for raises and negotiate their salary much more often)
What can the government do to tease out the remaining ~2-3% that might be due to implicit bias and fix it? If you have a solution, how could anyone possibly object?
When people say the wage gap is a 'myth' they are referring to the 77% number that gets tossed around for political reasons (or based on ignorance). The 23% gap is clearly not best explained by discrimination and yet most people think it is.

The gender wage gap has narrowed significantly over the past 50 years. In 1964, according to data from the Census Bureau, the typical woman working full time made about 59 cents on the dollar earned by a man; by 2004, that had risen to 77 cents. (These calculations don’t take into account differences in experience, industry or other factors.) More recently, however, progress for women has nearly stalled out: In 2014, the latest data available, women earned 79 cents for every dollar earned by men, a 2-pennies-an-hour improvement over a decade.2
Other measures of women’s progress in the workforce — their rate of employment, the likelihood that they will work in a historically male-dominated field, the rate at which they run big companies — show a similar pattern of what researchers Martha J. Bailey and Thomas A. DiPrete, in a new essay, call “five decades of remarkable but slowing change” for American women.
Bailey and DiPrete’s essay serves as the introduction to a remarkable new collection of papers from the Russell Sage Foundation that examines the progress that women have — and haven’t — made over the past half-century. It isn’t a simple story. The U.S. has already made major, albeit incomplete, progress on many of the most obvious causes of gender inequality — explicit discrimination on pay,3 overt barriers to employment, taboos against working while raising children. What is left is a tangle of cultural norms, implicit biases, individual preferences and other, subtler forms of discrimination that are much harder to change or even to measure.
Take the long-hours anecdote I described above. The rapid rise in pay for people working long hours has played a major role in the persistence of the overall gender wage gap, particularly for parents; new research in the Russell Sage Foundation volume estimates that the wage gap between mothers and fathers would be 15 percent smaller if the extra-hours increase hadn’t occurred. But that premium itself isn’t the result of discrimination, explicit or implicit; women who work long hours have seen even faster gains than men (although they still earn less on average).
Rather, the trend contributes to the wage gap because men are so much more likely than women to work those long hours. That, in turn, is the result of a confluence of factors that are deeply embedded in the American economy and society: Women, on average, spend much more time than men on housework, while men — especially a certain category of highly educated, elite men — are expected to work as much as possible. And of course, most importantly, mothers are still far more likely than fathers to be the primary caregiver for their children. Government policies could make a difference — affordable child care, for example, could make it easier for women who want to work long hours to do so — but they can only go so far.

It is humorous that a female had to make a video to try to emulate the cuteness of the original video. It seems feminists love playing off other people's successes.
The reason the video was stupid is because the interview was indeed a work/professional setting. You don't bring children to work and if they do somehow barge in to your home office it should be addressed accordingly. The feminist video is implying she handled it more correctly.
She's wrong.
My wife worked from home this entire week while I was travelling and the snow caused issues in our area. She wasn't playing, she was working. When I came home today she made me take our daughter out of the house and away from her while she was on conference calls. She's a professional and she needs to actually work professionally. Her having a screaming child or child playing in the background isn't professional at all.

Judging by your responses with childish or teenage women holding their middle fingers up seems you are just another person who cant accept how things really work in the world. I'm right. You're wrong. It's hard to admit it but you should try to look at things in the correct manner.
If a person reacted in the way portrayed in your video on a teleconference (much less a live TV interview) in a professional environment they should be fired immediately. I'm sure in most cases they would.
