You realize each federation gets a cut of the men’s WC pie even if they don’t qualify.
Each confederation earns more as their teams advance and those players get more as a result.
The USSF made more from the 2018 WC even though the men didn’t qualify than it will from the USWNT national team winning the World Cup.
It’s a fact.
The 2018 WC generated 6 billion dollars profit  for FIFA to divide up all the confederations.
The 2019 WWC is projected to turn a profit of 4 million dollars.

The women should get more as FIFA should give them more to call for equal compensation ignores the revenues aren’t close to equal. It’s a straw man.

In golf the men’s US Open champion gets more than the women’s US Open champion. Why? Because the USGA makes more in revenue from the men’s tournament than the women’s tournament.

Tennis pays equal because the tournaments run during the same time and each brings in the same audience. Thus it makes sense the attendance and revenue is the same, then pay them equal.
