The evidence that women get paid less is incredibly sketchy. There are a variety of studies on it. Some find a difference, some don't. This recent one concluded that no difference between pay for the same jobs exists: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/11/gender-pay-gap-does-not-exist-between-men-and-women-doing-the-sa/
Most of the studies that find a difference in pay don't break down the job descriptions very accurately or don't account for different amount of hours worked (men tend to work more hours)
As for the other issues. Yes, in some areas women get treated worse. But in some they get treated better. So you need to balance that out rather than just look at 1 side. "Harassment" is one of those issues. Yes, women have to deal with more unwanted attention. But the flip side of that is that women have to make a less effort to find a partner. Feminists never look at this. They just take 1 side of an imbalance and declare sexism. Well that's not sexism it's just difference. Plenty of men would happily get more unwanted attention if it means they had to put less energy into attracting the opposite sex. It can certainly be annoying if you're an attractive woman who gets too much attention. But it can equally be annoying if you're a man who lacks confidence and can never do well with women.
As for rape culture: Hahahahahahaha.
