Women earn less than Men

[GrandizerII]

   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.

I think this video by John Green is pretty much in line with what you're saying:





By the way, one thing I have personally noticed is that it's often always men who won't accept that the pay gap could be due to discrimination.
