Yes OP, after statistical controls are performed the gap disappears. Problem is there are lots of poorly designed studies that fail to do this which is why you still hear about it.

I thought the consensus was that gender bias manifests itself mainly in hiring and promotions. Much harder to prove that sort of gap though.

Mostly in the fact that the highest paid jobs/majors like CS and engineering are almost all men. Oh and women are on average much worse at salary negotiations, if a study does show a gap it's because of that.

Pretty much this. You'd think that women would have a permanent massively lower unemployment rate and higher participation rate if they were willing to work for so much less if it were as simple as advertised.

Yea, this is a great point- if the whole 70 cents on the dollar was remotely true you'd see managers falling over themselves to hire women.
