I think it is easy to dismiss everything as "choices". But why are people taking different paths? Did they have the same opportunities? Was the environment welcoming for both?

The 2017 top 500 CEO ranking included more female chiefs than any previous list since the first Fortune 500 ran in 1955. They were 6.4% -- 32 out of 500.

There are so many documented cases of inequal pay... I don't know where to begin.

The article isn't bunk though - it does point out cases that appear to be pay inequality but are actually functions of behavior; such as men preferring "things" and women preferring "people" - where the latter does not scale.

But that doesn't make this article right, either. Women are often taken advantage of in payscale - largely because the less agreeable men can take advantage of the typically more agreeable women. We see this in the news, and I have friends who have been through it.

I think a better argument to make would be that pay inequality is not so cut & dry. Sometimes it's really just the result of side effects (like women uber drivers earning less), and other times it is discriminatory (like hollywood).

Still, I was surprised (more disappointed) to see such an accredited author making such a poor argument in an article. Needed some more time in the thinking oven if you ask me.

Here there is one piece of evidence that the author decided to ignore: https://ctl.yale.edu/sites/default/files/basic-page-suppleme...

In related news, the sky is blue and the water is wet. I honestly doubt anyone seriously believes in the pay gap hogwash, unless they are very conveniently pushing an agenda that is set to capitalize on this.

The Washington Examiner also claims that global climate change is a hoax, and that Trump is the greatest president of all time.

how come nobody is passing a bill so i can get a raise if i'm bad at salary negotiation?!
