How exactly does this equate as evidence to pay gap discriminated against women?
If you want me to explain to you what these words mean, please just say ...
Quote:In a randomized double-blind study (n = 127), science faculty from research-intensive universities rated the application materials of a student—who was randomly assigned either a male or female name—for a laboratory manager position. Faculty participants rated the male applicant as significantly more competent and hireable than the (identical) female applicant. These participants also selected a higher starting salary and offered more career mentoring to the male applicant.
Yeah, right.

This study of yours were used to access the opinion of a bunch of faculty participants.
Opinion is not evidence, this opinion of a bunch of faculty participants is not anything near a 100 miles of evidence for women around the world being oppressed and discriminated against by a pay gap, all it shows is that the very few amount of participants in the study are highly opinionated, perhaps sexist, nothing more.
If you want to realize how dismissible these "studies" are, go to google and search for "a study confirms that god exists" or "researchers prove god"
You will be presented with "proofs" for Hell, Heaven, God and more atrocities.
It's always advisable to take these things with a grain of salt.
