If you read the full report, and you compare by race men still make more. Childless white men make more than childless white women. Childless Hispanic men make more than childless Hispanic women. Childless black men and women make about the same. White women make more than Hispanic men.
Due to a larger ratio of white women : minority women compared to white men : minority women, it skews the "Women's earnings" up.
There are many reasons why various groups make 'more' or 'less' but it is kinda disingenuous what people try to 'prove' with this report.
Thanks for linking to that. The interesting thing about that paradox is that it makes be doubt the wage gap even more because it is generally given as the most general "women on average". Knowing that the entire sample set could have the opposite leader than the individuals groups of samples, it is entirely possible that a lot of job type have a fairly balanced pay structure (and some jobs even in favor of women) but when lumped all together there is a gap in favor of men.
