MRW people call me "guy"

I should first clarify that I'm not just talking about in the US, as I believe that only focusing on one country is shortsighted (I'm not from the US myself, either).

Even the pdf that you quote regarding women's wages in the US still notes a wage gap, but an adjusted one, and points to factors which contribute toward it. I can give you some, not all of which are in that particular pdf: examples are women taking the primary childcare role, women being less assertive about asking for raises due to socialisation, women being discouraged from entering 'hard' 'masculine' fields like STEM, fewer women in senior positions, all of which I think can be argued are a result of traditional gender roles. Here's an example of wage gaps across the world but there are also other figures which reflect these problems e.g. lack of female CEOs, lack of women in science/more in fields which are seen as feminine but pay less, very few women in government. The report you linked notes that the pay gap is seen to be closing, but suggests that such a gap still exists. The pay gap in the US has been discussed extensively here and I'm not sure I can give you a better summary than anyone else - I'm sure you'll find much more eloquent summaries if you look at other comments! Internationally, I think it would be very difficult to say that women as a whole are equal. Here are the UN's stats and goals on female economic empowerment which you may find helpful.. The UN also seems to think that discrimination against women as a whole is increasing globally.

Similar story with rape (though I did note this: "Nearly 1 in 5 women (18.3%) and 1 in 71 men (1.4%) in the United States have been raped at some time in their lives, including completed forced penetration, attempted forced penetration, or alcohol/drug facilitated completed penetration" from the report you linked, which seems to contradict the figure you noted)? I agree that rape against men is an issue that doesn't receive enough attention and is again a problem induced by gender roles, as many men feel unable to report their rape or are not taken seriously when they do. However, again the international picture seems to suggest that sexual violence against women is more prevalent. You should investigate the current controversy around the film 'India's Daughter' if you want evidence on some of the abhorrent global attitudes surrounding rape of women. I want to clarify that it's not a competition over victimhood. I think rape as a whole should be taken seriously but yet again this is something that will be helped, not hindered, by removing gender roles. Improving support networks for all rape victims is something I wholeheartedly endorse. However, the international picture might help you to understand why rape against women seems to receive more attention.

woman who has a lot of sex is considered a slut, easy, weak while a man is considered a stud, however a womean who doesn't have a lot of sex is considered pure and strong while a man who doesn't have a lot of sex is considered weak and pathetic.

Exactly. These are examples of awful gender roles which we should be fighting to remove. I would point out that women who don't have a lot of sex are also paradoxically considered as 'frigid' in some cultures. It's a difficult space to navigate; another example of why these false ideals of 'purity' and 'masculinity' are really quite damaging. Not that I think people shouldn't be able to occupy a particular gender role, but to shame and discriminate against others for doing so is awful and is all-too-common.

Could you clear this up for me? I don't know what honor killings are or what FGM stands for to say the least

I'm very surprised that you don't know about FGM! It stands for Female Genital Mutilation and refers to a group of practices which affect over a billion women worldwide. Effectively, the genitals of female children are mutilated in varying manners (sometimes the clitoris is removed, sometimes the entire vagina may be sewn over to keep a woman from having sex before marriage) in a way that often leads to pain throughout adult life. The idea behind it is basically to keep the woman in question pure, as female sexual desire is seen as sinful and impure in the cultures which practice it (it is not limited to a particular religion). Honour killings result from similar ideals about female purity and subservience. There are many reasons behind honour killings, but they effectively happen when a woman either defies those traditional 'patriarchal' gender roles set by her culture/loses her purity (this includes being raped). Here's a more general guide to violence against women across the globe.
