The difference is the tournaments are on different levels. Men's dwarfs it.
They also are cherry picking stats, the years posted for generating a million more dollars include two world cups and an Olympics. Men had the Olympics.
This shit is laughable, if they want more money they actually need to create more revenue and sell tickets that are more than free to 9 dollars.

I don't think they deserve equal pay. But they deserve a lot more $. You're relying on cherry picked stats too because a lot of those arguments that the USMNT brings in more credit the USMNT for World Cup revenue. Not even close to the same thing. US Soccer has a gigantic surplus and the men's team sure as shit hasn't done anything recently to justify getting any piece of that. They are most definitely underpaid.
