This is a gross over-simplification. The gender pay gap in the USSR was larger than that of the US in the 1970s. In other words, the US had better pay equality than the USSR. And they managed to do that in a planned economy where all the wages were directly set by the government!
The difference is that the Soviets always saw women as equals unlike the US who still doesn’t
