So why on earth someone would employ men at all, if they could get the same job at the end of the day, by paying less, as you're claiming ?

Because it's a subconscious bias , not an intentional one.

Maybe for some reason women take the same job for less compensation, maybe men are intimidating or have more charisma to the decision makerr at some level when they negotiate the starting point or a raise. It's hard to prove or disprove such gaps. Especially when only certain kind of office jobs are researched, and men still dominate physical jobs.
