Yes. Dangerous is different to stressful tho being in danger can certainly cause stress! Men do more of the dangerous jobs.

That's what I was getting at, generally society has decided higher pay goes to danger over a stress like children hence the pay gap

No, I don't think so. Most men do not do dangerous jobs & the best paid jobs are not dangerous. CEOS earn more than firemen.

Women are drawn more to jobs working with people that they find satisfying & they're less likely to worry about the lower pay.

And this makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. Men prioritise raw income in jobs not coz greedy but coz resources attract women.
