Regarding the second half of your comment, are you just.... unaware... of the progress made over the last 100 years as far as a woman’s place among men goes? A lot of industries, and a lot of career paths, are still male dominated in part because of certain stigmas and “boys clubs.” You’d have to be wilfully ignorant to believe that isn’t true. A ton of progress has been made, which should be noted, but putting on the blinders and saying there are no barriers to female advancement in many different industries is completely wrong.

Maybe still in the public sector, but in the private sector, I'd argue the economics of the hire plays more of a role than gender. Profits drive business, they aren't going to hire one sex over another if it cost them more money to do so, or their chosen sex has less profitability. And if there were really a gender pay gap, women would be the most employed and would be a preferred hire over males, would they not? Why pay more than you have to? I look at my own employer, they absolutely do not care whats between your legs, if you do the job and make the company money, you're in, you cost them money, don't show up for work, you're out. The marketplace and financials are the real decider.
