Just wanted to say I'm still here and lurking. Original poster had to step back and just read for a while. Good discussion, folks - thanks! - who would'a thought that responses to a simple news article would get up to 8 pages? Who would'a thought that a statement like "Women typically earn more than men in 7 of the professions out of those 446" would create a heated debate? Wow. What I have learned: yes, research into the subject needs to be more in depth. It needs to point to a variety of causes for this disparity, and then present suggestions for correcting discriminatory practices where they are found.
Now, back to reading . . . thanks everybody.
